Desiring the highest life, you hated the earthly life, and you took up the cross, you followed Christ, and you dwelt in the desert, most wonderfully, and in it you labored in singing and vigils and fasting: for this reason the Most Holy Spirit dwelled in you. Moreover, as if you had boldness towards Christ God, ask our blessed Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich for health and salvation, and do not forget, while visiting your children who celebrate your sacred memory, Reverend Cosmo, our father.
