Having loved Christ the Lord with your heart and soul, / you left all the red of this world, / you deigned rather to serve God in humility and obedience, / than on the throne of the kingdom to rule./ For this reason, we piously praise you/ and, honoring your holy memory, we cry out to you:/ Father Joasapha, blessed God,// pray to Christ God for the salvation of our race Christian
