Fourth Sunday of Great Lent
Troparion
(Tone 3)

Thou hast set up a holy ladder by thy words and hast shone forth as a teacher of monks; thou dost lead us, O John, from the purification that comes from discipline to the light of the Divine Vision. O righteous father, pray to Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

This icon is from St. Katherine's Monastery at Sinai, where St. John was the abbot.

"Like the sun's rays passing through a crack and lighting up the house, show up even the finest dust, the fear of the Lord on entering the heart of a man show up all his sins." - St. John Climacus, The Ladder of Divine Ascent
