Having adorned your mind with the teachings of the God-inspired Scriptures, / with sober prayer and vigils pleasing to God, / you confirmed your heart in the Lord by fulfilling His saving commandments, / for this sake The people of Russia and Athos glorify you, / and the monastery of Vatopedi, together with us, cries out: / Maxim the Wise, do not abandon us who pray to you.
Glory: and now, Theotokos:
I pray to You, Most Pure Mother of the Most High God, / my soul alone for consolation, hope, sweetness, / Divine protection, light, intercession and salvation! / Bless me with Your prayers hear the voice / calling the blessed ones inside the palace of the Lord.
