236. Речь Благочестивейшему Государю Императору Николаю Павловичу, пред вступлением Его Императорского Величества с Их Императорскими Высочествами, Великими Князьями Николаем и Михаилом Николаевичами, в Успенский Собор

(Said on March 9th; printed in the Collection of 1848 687 Most pious Sovereign! And after Your long paths, You gave yourself the work of a new path, remembering Your ancient throne city with your fatherly heart. We dare to say that we also followed You, not only to the borders of Russia, but also to the farthest edge of Europe, accompanying You with our heartfelt concerns, our prayerful desires, trusting, however, in the Providence that protects You. Now we thank God for Your protective closeness to us, for the joy of Your contemplation with these new flowers of Your and our hopes, and we pray that He will fulfill the radiant hope of still rejoicing in the renewed and multiplied Your family joys.
