    Rejoice, thou who art full of grace,/ Mother of God and Virgin,/ for from thee arose the Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God,/ to give light to those in darkness./ Rejoice thou also, righteous Elder, who didst take in thine arms the Redeemer of our souls,/ Who also gives us the grace of resurrection.

    Troparion of St. Ronan Tone 4

    As one endowed with the beauty of speech,/ thou didst Preach Christ's saving Gospel to the inhabitants of Man, O Hierarch Ronan./ Wherefore O Saint, being mindful of the power of words,/ pray that our every utterance may be to the glory of God/ that at the end He will grant us great mercy.

    Thou Who didst sanctify the Virgin's womb by Thy birth/ and bless Symeon's hands as was fitting/ hast now come to us and saved us, O Christ our God./ But grant peace in the midst of wars to Thy community,/ and strengthen the Church which Thou hast loved,/ O only Lover of mankind.

    Kontakion of St. Ronan Tone 6
