Irmos: Wherefore hast Thou turned Thy face from me, O Light never-waning? And why hath a strange darkness covered me, wretch that I am? But turn me, and guide my steps to the light of Thy commandments, I pray.
Having harrowed hardened hearts with the husbandry of thy words, thou didst cast upon them the divine seed, O hierarch, and didst produce an abundant harvest, the salvation of the faithful, for the Deliverer, O divinely eloquent one.
Theotokion: O Virgin, thou wast adorned with the all-pure beauties of thy virginity, and thou didst cover the misshapen shame of the first Eve, having given birth to Christ, Who bestoweth upon those who honor thee the garment of immortality.
Phædimus, the servant of God, aflame with zeal, piously trusting in God, Who knoweth all things, and in thine honorable life, O divinely eloquent father Gregory, anointed thee even though thou hadst not come to him.
With the streams of thy precepts thou didst quench idolatrous immolations, and didst make the faithful firm through thy teachings, O most wise one, having, like Samuel, ascended the mountain through visions, and being also like an oak in thy steadfastness.
O divinely wise and holy hierarch, by thy prayers deliver me from evil and grievous circumstances, and rend asunder the record of my transgressions, O father, for thou art a priest who hast received from God the power to loose transgressions.
