By the providence of God wast thou shown to be a light of piety amid the heavy darkness of godlessness and unbelief, O father, calling upon all to cry out: Blessed art Thou in the churches of Thy glory, O Lord!
Theotokion: O Mistress, save thy people, save those who are of the same blood as thee! Save us, O Mother of Life and of the whole human race, and, even though we are unworthy to call thee our mother, sanctify, make steadfast and save us by thy supplications.
With the most sublime power of the help of God thou didst cast down the enemy, and wast a victor, crying out: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Irmos: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, Who saved the children of Abraham in the fire, slaying the Chaldæans whom justice rightly overtook: blessed art Thou!
Man is in the image of God; and thou, O father John, wast a most splendid mirror of the love of God and a dwelling place of the Holy Trinity, Whom we sinners also glorify.
Theotokion: The Lord Who loveth mankind, having made His abode in thy womb and become incarnate, O Virgin, hath called us captives to the state we enjoyed in the beginning.
Having done away with the darkness of the passions and been illumined with the enlightenment of dispassion, O venerable one, thou didst cry: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
From the Lord didst thou receive the grace to heal the infirmities and passions of men; visit us also therewith always, that with thee we may all chant in oneness of mind: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, for ever!
Having wounded thy soul with the beauties of the virtues, thou becamest comely in beauty, and, rejoicing, thou chantest to the Lord: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
