Oh, great saint John Chrysostom! You have received many and varied gifts from the Lord and, like a good and faithful servant, you have multiplied all the talents given to you: for this reason you truly were the universal teacher, for every age and every calling learns from You. You are the image of obedience for the youth, the luminary of chastity for the young, the mentor of hard work for the husband, the teacher of kindness for the old, the rule of abstinence for the monk, the leader of God for those who pray. inspired, for those who seek wisdom - the enlightener, for those who seek good words - the words of a living source, an inexhaustible source, for those who do good - the star of mercy, for those in power - the wise image of government, truth a zealot - an inspirer of boldness, a teacher of patience for the sake of righteousness for the persecuted: you were all, and you saved everyone.
Over all of these you have acquired love, which is the union of perfection, and by this, as by the power of the Divine, you have united all the gifts in one person, and Here, shared and reconciling love, in the interpretation of the words of the apostles, you preached to all the faithful. We are sinners, we each have our own gifts, we are not imams of unity of spirit in the union of the world, we are vain, irritating to each other, envious of each other: for this reason Our gifts, divided not into peace and salvation, but into enmity and condemnation, appear to us. Moreover, we fall to you, the saint of God, overwhelmed by discord, and in contrition of heart we ask: through your prayers, drive away from our hearts all pride and envy that separates us, yes in many places there will be one church body, so that according to your prayerful words we will love one another and with one mind confess the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity of One Essence and Indivisible, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
