O venerable fathers, our shepherds and teachers, blessed Abvo Theodore and Abvo Paul! In the ancient years, they deigned to follow the commandments of the Lord, and drew nature to a deserted place, where, with the blessing and prayers of their leader, the reverend and God-bearing Sergius, the miracle worker of Radonezh, the glorious monastery of the holy passion-bearers Boris and Gleb was restored by nature, in order to establish the piety of monastic residence, and against the invisible There, the enemies of our salvation labored, and thus became God's servants, more splendidly adorned with faith, hope and love, and with fasting and vigil and prayers, pleasing to God and in all piety, revealed to us for temporary life and eternal salvation. And now, our reverend fathers, do not forget to visit your children in order to ward off the slander of the enemy from us: instruct and confirm us in good deeds, guiding our souls towards eternal life.
Pray for mercy to the Giver and Lord of all, that He will save us, and He will be the heirs of eternal pleasure, and may we continually glorify the all-holy name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, to the endless ages of ages.
