Troparion of St Cawrdaf
Tone 8
O Father Cawrdaf, spurning the transitory glory of temporal power,
thou didst flee from the world to serve God in monastic seclusion.
Wherefore, O righteous one, pray that we, following thy example by
serving God rather than self,
may be found worthy of eternal salvation.
