Having tilled the hard ground of the hearts of thy people with thy words, therein thou didst produce for God the ever-flowering fruits of piety. With the purity of thy life thou didst adorn their minds, didst move them to zeal for the angelic life of monastics with thee, and didst urge them to prevail over transitory things, O divine harp, vigilant eye, pastor of pastors, O blessed and sacred father Savva.
