Irmos: The great mystery/ of Thy, O Christ, vision:/ seeing this from above with God-vision, O Habakkuk, / Thou didst come forth, crying unto Thee, / for the salvation of Thy people, O Lover of mankind.
Reverend Father Maxima, pray to God for us.
From secret heretical false teachings / nothing is hidden from you, Reverend Maxima, / but by the grace of the Holy and worshiped Spirit the whole essence is revealed to you.
Reverend Father Maxima, pray to God for us.
The mysterious dogmas of the Orthodox faith/ not just a champion of the truth and true to oneself, but also a sharp axe/ against all heresies under heaven.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
As the builder of the mysteries of the Holy Spirit, / and the steward of the heavenly life, and the teacher of the law of the Lord, / you truly appeared to the wise Maxima.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
Moses the God-Seer taught the great mystery, in vain the bush was not burned: / the bush is the weakness of human nature, / fire is the Divinity of the Only Begotten Son of the Most High, / for our God is a consuming fire our sins, / like the Divine Apostle speaking.
