Today every soul rejoices/ in memory of the dormition of Saint Gerontius of Christ,/ the wisdom of the zealot/ and the meekness of the teacher,/ the humility of the punisher,/ the teaching of the Divine words of the faithful./ Let us praise the Russian Metropolitan,/ who received the holiness of his flock,/ who adorned the Church of Christ./ Thus Christ, seeing your good will,/ counted you among the righteous,/ to the saint Gerontius, pray to Christ God and the Most Pure Mother of God without ceasing for all of us.
