A champion of Orthodoxy,/ a great worker and teacher of repentance and prayer,/ a divinely inspired adornment to the bishops,/ glory and praise to the monastics:/ you have made all of us chaste through your writings./ Spiritual treasure, Ignatius the wise God, / pray to the Word of Christ God, / Whom you carried in your heart, / / to grant us repentance before the end.
