Kontakion, Tone III — They that have found thy temple/ to be a place of spiritual healing, O holy one,/ and have recourse thereto with zeal,/ ask to receive the healing of their infirmities and forgiveness of the transgressions they committed in their lives;/ for thou art seen to be an intercessor for all that are in need,// O venerable Patapius.
