With the rivers of your tears, you have made the barren desert fertile. Through sighs of sorrow from deep within you, your labors have borne fruit a hundred-fold. By your miracles you have become a light, shining upon the world. O Theoctistos, our Holy Father, pray to Christ our God, to save our souls.

Theoctistos the Righteous of Sicily

Reading from the Synaxarion:

Saint Theoctistus, Abbot of the Monastery of Cucomo in Sicily, reposed
in peace in the year 800.

Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
With the rivers of your tears, you have made the barren desert
fertile. Through sighs of sorrow from deep within you, your labors have
borne fruit a hundred-fold. By your miracles you have become a light,
shining upon the world. O Theoctistos, our Holy Father, pray to Christ
our God, to save our souls.

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
Thou didst rise out of the West, O Theoctistus, mystically illumining
the Church of Christ like a bright sun with the resplendent and
sacred rays of thine ascetical labours, O righteous one.
