Inflamed with spiritual desire, most blessed, you have filled your soul with the flow of your tears, and even from the depths of sighs you have wounded your heart, with vigorous prayers and all-night standing before the Lord Christ, you have brought much virtuous fruit to yourself: for this reason, as a saint of God, you have appeared as a luminary to the world, shining miracles. Reverend Sergius, our father, warm prayer book, always pray to God to save our souls.
