Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.
Unceasingly serving thy Lord and ever emulating the labors of the apostles, O father, thou wast vouchsafed heavenly gifts.
Theotokion: O all-pure one, thou gavest birth unto One of the Trinity, Who, for the sake of His loving-kindness, appeared on earth in two natures; Him do thou unceasingly entreat, that He save our souls.
O blessed one, thou didst show forth wisdom in thy youth, understanding in thine old age, patience and long-suffering throughout thy whole life, and love for all.
Irmos: Send down upon us Thine enlightenment, O Lord, and free us from the gloom of transgressions, O Good One, granting us Thy peace.
Having slain the passionate pleasures of thy corruptible flesh, thou didst enliven thine incorruptible soul with piety and didst make of it a house of the divine Spirit.
Theotokion: The Virgin gave birth to the all-pure God Who setteth down the law, the Savior of all men, who proclaimeth piety to all on earth.
Giving wings to the understanding of thy soul, and directing thy senses, O wise one, thou becamest an honorable temple consecrated to God.
Earnestly proclaiming the Gospel of Christ unto all, thou wast a daily communicant at the banquet of the Lord, making thyself and thy flock a living offering which was holy in God’s sight.
Thou didst adorn the three parts of thy soul, O venerable one, making thy mind the master, for it hath Christ guiding thee to the heavenly way.
