Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, the mystery of Thy dispensation; I have understood Thy works, and have glorified Thy divinity.
All the vileness of sin didst thou revile, O blessed one, and with the arrows of abstinence thou didst wound hordes of the demons.
Theotokion: We hymn thee, O most immaculate one, as more exalted than the cherubim and the seraphim; for thou didst bear in thine arms the Master in the flesh, before Whom all things tremble.
Wounding thy soul with desire for purity, thou didst ardently follow Christ and didst enter into the bridal-chamber of glory, O most blessed one.
Through abstinence thou didst flourish like a most fragrant meadow and an animate garden of the virtues. Thereby thou didst nurture all who honor thee.
O father, having truly acquired thee, like Moses and David, as a giver of laws of abstinence and a true model of meekness, we call thee blessed.
