Troparion — Tone 8

You became worthy of your name through your way of life: / through your vigilance in prayer and your constant constant works of mercy. / Therefore, O Father Gregory, beseech Christ God to enlighten our minds, / that we may not sleep in sin, which leads to death!

Saint GENNADE Ier, archevêque de Constantinople (458-471), qui confessa la foi orthodoxe face au monophysitisme (471).

San Gennadio era prete della Chiesa di Costantinopoli e nel 458, alla morte del patriarca Anatolio, fu scelto per sedere sul trono patriarcale a causa della sua pietà e dell’integrità dei suoi modi. Egli si dimostrò guardiano molto fedele delle tradizioni apostoliche e condusse la truppa spirituale con grande saggezza pastorale. Egli riportò l’ordine nel clero pervertito dalla simonia, impose il riposo obbligatorio della domenica, e preservò l’armonia delle relazioni della Chiesa con il potere civile. Difese con ardore la fede ortodossa e usò la sua influenza presso l’imperatore per far condannare il patriarca eretico di Antiochia, Pietro il Follatore . Brillò inoltre per numerosi miracoli che Dio gli faceva compiere per l’affermazione della Chiesa tanto che un giorno paralizzò con la sua preghiera la mano di un iconografo che aveva rappresentato il Cristo sotto forma del Dio pagano Zeus.
Si racconta che alla fine della sua vita, non volendo continuare a dirigere una Chiesa sottomessa ad un imperatore eretico (Leone I), san Gennadio diede le dimissioni e partì verso i Luoghi Santi, vestito da semplice monaco. Al ritorno si fermò nell’isola di Cipro per venerare i luoghi santificati da san Ilarione (cf. 21 ottobre) ma in cammino si perse ed arrivò in una borgata di nome Kisapetra. Sorpreso da una tempesta di neve, andò a bussare alla porta di una vedova ma questa non aprì spaventandosi di ricevere uno straniero e all’indomani si trovò il santo Patriarca morto di freddo sulla porta.

Troparion (Tone 1)
Though thou wast of royal birth and lineage, O Hilda, thou didst spurn earthly riches and the allurements of the flesh. And cleaving with all thy heart unto Christ, thou didst take up the struggle of the monastic life. Wherefore, God endowed thee with such wisdom and prudence that all the people hastened unto thee for counsel and succour. O venerable one, entreat Him unceasingly, that He grant us great mercy.

St. Hilda was born in 614 in Northumbria, England. King Edwin was her great-uncle. She was baptized at the age of thirteen along with her great-uncle. She determined to became a nun after the example of her sister, Hereswith. Her sister sought the monastic life abroad. St. Hilda was to follow her, but St. Aidanpersuaded her to stay in England and gave her land to start a monastery, thus making her the first nun in England. He appointed her as abbess in Hartepool and she led with great success. St Hilda eventually undertook the building of a monastery in Whitby. There she started a monastery for women, then one for men. Under her leadership, Whitby became a great missionary center, training and sending monastics to disciple Northern Europe. She taught the monks and nuns in the Sacred Scriptures and importance of prayer.  It is reported that five bishops came out of Whitby due to her fine tutelage. Seven years before her death in 680, St. Hilda became ill with a fever that never left her. Despite her illness, she never neglected any of her duties.
