St. Bessarion, Wonderworker of Egypt; St. Hilarion the New, Troparion, Tone IV
O God of our fathers,/ deal with us ever according to Thy meekness./ Deprive us not of Thy mercy,/ but through their supplications// direct our life in peace.

Kontakion for St. Hilarion, Tone II, "The steadfast..."
Like a shepherd didst thou preserve within thy fold/ the flock of thy life-bearing pasture,/ and wast shown to be great by the loftiness of thy works, O Hilarion the New,/ having undergone much suffering and sorrow in thy piety./ Wherefore, thou hast made thine abode in the most joyful life in heavenly Sion.// Pray for us, O venerable one!
Kontakion for St. Bessarion, Tone II: "The steadfast..."
Emulating the powers on high,/ by example thou didst live the life of the birds, O venerable one;/ and putting transitory things from thy mind,/ led to the heavenly beauties of Christ the King by thy constant desire,/ thou didst come even unto Him.// O Bessarion, entreat Him unceasingly in behalf of us all!
