Our Righteous Father Steven the Sabbaite

Reading from the Synaxarion:

Saint Stephen passed his life in ascetical discipline in the Monastery
of Saint Sabbas, from whence also he received the name Sabbaite. He
was consecrated bishop and reposed about the year 790, bequeathing to
the Church a number of melismatic troparia.

Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
You are a guide of Orthodoxy, a teacher of piety and modesty, a
luminary of the world, the God inspired pride of monastics. O wise Steven,
you have enlightened everyone by your teachings. You are the harp of
the Spirit. Intercede to Christ our God for the salvation of our
souls.

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
Planting a paradise of flourishing virtues, which with the streams of thy
divine tears was watered, O all-famed Stephen, thou didst gain the Tree
of Life. Wherefore, by thy fervent prayers, save thy flock from
corruption; them that warmly honour thee do thou save from temptation, for we
have all obtained thee, O wise Saint, through faith and love as our
most mighty advocate.
