Irmos: O Christ, Who separated the primal light from light, that Thy works may hymn Thee, the Creator, in light: direct Thou our paths in Thy light.
Withdrawing from the love of this deceitful world, thou didst greatly desire to follow the steps, ways and teachings of the great fathers, O Nestor. By thy supplications direct thou our paths in the light of their works, and grant that we also may be zealous therefor.
Theotokion: O most holy Virgin, who gavest birth to the Way of life: in that thou art full of loving-kindness, thou guidest to the straight paths those who walk paths of temptation. O Mistress, disdain me not who am astray, but, as thou gavest birth to the Guide of the lost, direct my paths in His light.
Protected by profound humility, O venerable one, thou didst cast down and trample underfoot the enemy who walketh in haughty vainglory; and by thy mediation before God, O father, grant humility also unto us, and guide our steps aright therein.
All had thee like an angel of God who lived thy life angelically; wherefore, thou wast vouchsafed to ascend to the rank of deacon, wherein thou didst set thy course aright. O Nestor, direct thou our paths in holiness.
