St. Pachomius the Great, Troparion, in Tone VIII

Troparion - Tone VIII

With the streams of thy tears thou didst irrigate the barren desert,/ and with sighs from the depths of thy soul thou didst render thy labors fruitful an hundredfold./ Thou wast a beacon for the whole world, radiating miracles.// O our father Pachomius, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.

Kontakion, Tone II, "Seeking the highest..."

Kontakion - Tone II

Thou wast shown to be a radiant luminary for the ends of the earth,/ and didst populate the desert with multitudes of monastics, as with cities./ And crucifying thyself, taking thy cross upon thy shoulders,/ thou didst lay waste to thy body with asceticism,// praying unceasingly for us all.
