From my youth, wisely, I labored diligently,/ and with the knowledge of the Holy Spirit/ I erected a great monastery to the Most Holy Theotokos/ in praise of Her Nativity,/ with the streams of your tears I immersed the bodiless enemies thou art,/ and, through thy life of chastity, united with the angelic faces,/ like Father Theodora,/ pray with them to Christ God // that our souls may be saved.
