You were a luminous lamp of the never-setting sun of the righteousness of Christ in earthly life, Father Silouan, luminous in the word and image of your holy life, and the path of salvation for many You showed to Christ, even as you yourself steadily walked. Moreover, after your blessed departure to the heavenly abodes, you enlighten the hearts of the faithful and instruct everyone to the divine mind, teaching us to joyfully sing to you:
Rejoice, fragrant incense, brought to God from the holy Mount Athos:
Rejoice, you who have entered into the joy of your Lord.
Rejoice, the talent entrusted to you is multiplying:
Rejoice, you who received great rewards in heaven.
Rejoice, treasure of the spiritual mind:
Rejoice, good teacher of monks.
Rejoice, shining pillar, driving away the darkness of enmity:
Rejoice, new lamp of faith, who in our days shows the way to God.
Rejoice, holy Athonite, kindled by the fire of love for God:
Rejoice, bright star, illuminating all who please you.
Rejoice, partaker of the indescribable beauty of paradise:
Rejoice, for with the powers on high you glorify the Lord with angelic powers.
Rejoice, O Reverend Silvana, preacher of love for the enemy and teacher of humility and prayer.
