You have rejected the rumors of life, O Reverend, / and, like birds, you will find silence in the desert, / in prayers and vigils, diligent to God, / like Father Pachomius, / and leave behind the ancient stay,/ and departed into the desert, and settled in it,/ and formed a monastery in the name of the Most Holy Trinity,/ and you flourished, like a phoenix,/ and became an image of spiritual consolation./ Moreover, Reverend Pachomius, // pray to the Most Holy Trinity for the salvation of our souls.
