Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, of Thy glorious dispensation, and I have glorified Thine unapproachable power, O Thou Who lovest ­mankind.

¶2

Theotokion: All the earth is amazed, and all the nations marvel, beholding thine exceeding loving-kindness towards our land and the Christian race. O Mistress, transform thou our wickedness into piety through faith.

¶3

O hierarch of God, standing before the throne of the Lord of glory, entreat Him to grant peace unto our land, and that it may be delivered from all evils.

¶4

In thy good works thy light shone greatly before men, to whom thou didst show thyself to be a comforter amid sorrows and a gracious physician for the sick, that all the people of Irkutsk might glorify the heavenly Father Who hath given thee to us as a great wonder-worker.

¶5

Thou wast a temple of the all-holy Spirit, O father, containing within thyself divine wisdom for the edification of the Church of Christ and the confirmation of monastics.
