Surely seeking Christ, / hoping to receive Christ’s riches, / creating a hopeless mass of gold, / quickly jumping, like the abyss in the midst of Lazarus and the rich man, / and easily I will rise into the depths of Abraham, / the deserted John, the name of grace and the transparent dove, / who received the gift of insight from God, / and to the honest Bishop Theodore he spoke the unseen Scripture / and the martyrdom of the pious king Moab. / Moreover, we pray to you, father: // beg Christ for us, who honor you.
