Troparion of St. John Cassian Tone 6

In thy divine teachings thou wast a physician for souls, O Father Cassian,/ and setting aright the thoughts of monastics by grace,/ thou didst lead them to life everlasting./ Wherefore, we all honor thee with love.

Kontakion of St. John Cassian Tone 2

Having delighted in discipline, abstinence, and continence,/ O divinely wise one,/ and having bridled your carnal desires,/ you were seen increasing in faith./ And you flourished like the tree of life in the midst of Eden,/ O all-blessed, most sacred Father Cassian.
