Moreover, praising this will of yours, overshadowed by the blessing of God, we sing to you:

Rejoice, you who count earthly wealth for nothing.
Rejoice, bright joy of the Tambov lands:
Rejoice, zealous intercessor before God for the Russian people.
Rejoice, you who were called from the darkness of sin to the light of the truth of Christ by the Most Pure One:
Rejoice, thou chosen as the builder of this earthly heliport.
Rejoice, chosen one of God, who has settled on the Holy Mountain:
Rejoice, thou who served God angelically in the holy monastery of Panteleimon.
Rejoice, having laid the cross on yourself from God without complaint:
Rejoice, gloriously victorious in the work, fasting and silence of the enemy who fought you.
Rejoice, having ascended from youth to the heights of perfection:
Rejoice, our vigilant prayer book to the Mother of God.
Rejoice, O Reverend Silvana, preacher of love for the enemy and teacher of humility and prayer.
