The Life of Saint Isidore: “Even if you kill my body, you have no authority over my Soul. I possess the True, Living God, Jesus Christ Who now lives in me, and after my death He will be with me, and I am in Him and will remain in Him and I will never cease to Confess His Holy Name as long as my Soul is in my body.”

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone: Thou hast become a great guide to the world through thy Prayers. Wherefore today we praise thee with Hymns, O Holy Martyr, Glorious Isidore.
Megalynarion: Your head was cut off by a sword, having cut off the devices, of error O Athlete, and you were united to Christ, the head of all, by participating in His Passion, O Isidore.

At midnight a Heavenly Light illumined the prison, and many Angels, with Saint Isidore in their midst, appeared to Saint Myrope. Saint Isidore said “Peace be to you, Myrope, your Prayer has reached God, and soon you will be with us and will receive the Crown prepared for you.”
