You were the rule of faith and the image of meekness, in word and life, to your flock, the humble and wise Father Mitrofan: in the same way, in the brightness of the saints of the sun, you shone brightly, we adorn you with the crown of incorruptibility and glory. Pray to Christ God, our most pious Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich, his entire power and your city to be saved in peace.
