Through the love of Christ, the God-Wise One, enlightened and virtuous/ you cohabited with Blessed Basil,/ and, having hated all carnal pleasures,/ you moved into the desert,/ there is greatness in it You labored in this temporary life/ mortifying your flesh in singing, and in vigils, and in fasting./ Likewise, Christ enriched you with the gift of miracles,/ but remember for us who honor blessed memory of yours, / like Father Feraponte, / and pray to Christ God to save our souls.
