Governing the Catholic and Apostolic Church of God,/ keeping the commandments of God,/ the great one shepherded the flock of verbal sheep;/ the malicious clergyman received his sight through his prayer commanded,/ and taught, as before Saint Leonty,/ a promoter of the salvation of the Russian land, teacher of Rostov,/ first of all, bless the connection and again;/ so the holy Bishop of Suzhdal,/ To the misfortunes that come to you, O deliverer, wonder-worker John, // pray to Christ God to save our souls.
