From your youth you loved Christ, O Lord, / and you passionately desired to work for Him alone, / in your desert life you strived with unceasing prayer and labor, / with a tender heart, the love of Christ has acquired, / Heavenly Seraphim in hymn, a companion, / in love flowing to you, Christ the imitator, / the chosen one is loved by the Mother of God You appeared,/ for this reason we cry out to you:/ save us with your prayers, our joy,/ warm intercessor before God,// Blessed Seraphim.
