You appeared angel-like to those who excelled in virtues, O god-wise Simeon the Theologian, and through your angelic voice you theologized even more than the mind of the sacrament. Moreover, we all cry out in wonder at your lordship:

Rejoice, in whom the Trinity is sung;

Rejoice, in whom corruption is trampled under foot.

Rejoice, dwelling place of the Trisolar Light;

Rejoice, contemplation of heavenly life.

Rejoice, height of the divine mind, inconvenience corrected by many;

Rejoice, depth of life of the best, for the sake of all virtues.

Rejoice, for you have appeared in radiance to the Church;

Rejoice, for you have appeared to bring joy to the theologians.

Rejoice, ray of immaterial lights;

Rejoice, lightning against material imaginations.

Rejoice, through whom theologies are taught in secret;

Rejoice, because the New Slovakians are listening.

Rejoice, like Simeon, the light of the Divine Mystery.
