Oh, great and glorious saint of Christ, God-wise teacher of the whole Ecumenical Church, steadfast confessor and champion of Orthodoxy, blessed Father Gregory! Look down from the heights of heaven upon us, who humbly fall to you, and beg the Lord Almighty, whose faithful servant you were on earth, to grant us firm and unchangeable preservation of the right faith, obedience to the Church of the Saints, correction of our lives, and in all our needs, sorrows and temptations, quick help, patience and strengthening. Grant us your holy blessing, so that this new summer will dawn on us, and all the days of our lives will be pleasing to God, in peace and repentance, and in the Kingdom of Heaven we will be honored, together with you and with all the saints, to sing and glorify the Life-Giving Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
