Irmos: You saved the Prophet from the whale, O Lover of Mankind,/ and bring me up from the depths of sins, I pray.
Reverend Father Maxima, pray to God for us.
Prophetically 24, Reverend Maxima, you denounced people, leading them to repentance: / lost, lost from the right and unlost life of the holy monks / and madly flowing towards honor highest rank.
Reverend Father Maxima, pray to God for us.
You appeared as a prophet of repentance, Reverend Maxima, / providing sobriety to souls with Divine words / and raising those darkened by sins from the pit of passions.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The prophetic writings, spoken in secret, / were made clear by you, the wise Maxim, / for this reason all people will listen to you abundantly.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
The prophets proclaimed Thee, O Pure Virgin, / the apostles preached, and blessed all the saints, / we and the Archangel cry out: / Rejoice, O Most Gracious One, the Lord is with Thee.
