We are inflamed with divine love from our youth, O Reverend,/ all that is red in the world, who hated,/ you loved Christ alone,/ for this reason you settled in the desert,/ where You have been honored with a Divine visitation, / Even though it is inconvenient to behold the angelic eyes, / You have fallen and bowed down. / The Great Giver, like the Lover of Mankind, has spoken to you: / Do not be dismayed, My beloved, / Your deeds are pleasing to Me,/ Behold, I give you a gift:/ If you pray for any sinner,/ His sins will be forgiven./ But you, in the purity of your heart, were kindled,/ I will receive water and touch the Untouchable One,/ wash our noses with Him/ and drink water and become rich through the gift of miracles/ heal the sick, drive away demons from people/ and deliver sinners from torment through your prayer./ About the Reverend Father Father, / I pray that you pray for me too, / as God has promised you, / for from these I am the first sinner, / may the Lord give me time to repent, / and forgive my sin, / for I am good and Lover of mankind, // let me sing to Him with everyone: hallelujah.
