Having a high desire for a more worldly life,/ you hated this,/ and, taking up your cross, you followed Christ,/ and you dwelt in the desert, most worthy,/ in it you labored in song, in vigils and forgiveness./ Moreover, the Most Holy Spirit dwells in you,/ but as you have boldness towards Christ God,/ ask Orthodox people for health and salvation/ and do not forget to visit your children,/ who celebrate your sacred memory, // Cosmo, our reverend father.
