Prayer Reflection

TROPARION

Tone 8  Your abundant tears made the wilderness bloom, * and your sufferings made your labors fruitful a hundredfold; * you became a shining torch over the world. * O venerable father Ephrem, * pray to Christ our God that He may save our souls.

KONTAKION

Tone 8  Ever conscious of the hour of judgement, * you shed tears of bitter lament, O Epherm. * You actively embraced the life of silence which you loved so dearly. * By your actions you have taught us. * You have spurred the lazy to repentance.
