Irmos: I heard the voice of the power of the Cross, as if paradise was opened to them, and I cried out: glory to your power, Lord.
Reverend Father Silouana, pray to God for us.
Like a hard-working bee, you lay close to God with fasting and prayer/ and you tearfully begged the Most Pure Mother of God not to abandon the world,/ Reverend Father, do not cease now for us pray, / for you have great boldness.
Reverend Father Silouana, pray to God for us.
A new well of inexhaustible grace in Mount Athos appeared to you, O all-blessed one, / from nothing more than honey and honeycomb, / the sweetness of the love of Christ flows through the Holy Spirit, / Even in the sorrow of sin, delight our hearts.
Reverend Father Silouana, pray to God for us.
To the Lord, I say: where your treasure is, so will your heart be; for, O all-blessed One, you are pleased to cry out to Him:/ Lord, give by Your Holy Spirit My heart thirsts,/ may I never be satisfied with You.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Like a fragrant and undefiled sacrifice, / offer your prayers for us to the Most Holy Trinity, O Reverend Father, / and ask for mercy on those who hate and are hostile to us, / deliver both them and us from all sorrow and sadness.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
You, Pure, You, Undefiled Virgin, the only invincible wall to the Imam, / refuge, protection of strength, weapon of salvation, / do not despise me, the prodigal, the hopeless, / help for the weak, joy for the insulted and intercession.
