Prayers
Apolytikion: Thou didst prove to be a citizen of the desert, an Angel in the flesh, and a Wonderworker, O Gerasimos, our God-bearing Father. By fasting, vigil, and Prayer thou didst obtain Heavenly gifts, and thou healest the sick and the Souls of them that have recourse to thee with faith. Glory to Him that hath given thee strength. Glory to Him that hath Crowned thee. Glory to Him that worketh healings for all through thee.
Kontakion: As a star resplendent with the light of virtues, thou didst make the wilderness of Jordan radiantly shine with beams of sacred celestial light, O Righteous Father, God-bearing Gerasimos.
Kontakion: Aflame with Heavenly love thou didst prefer the desert’s hardship to all the pleasures of the world. Wherefore a wild creature served thee and became obedient till death. God glorified thee with signs and miracles: in thy Prayers remember us also, O God-bearing Father Gerasimos.
