Even though on earth for Christ's sake you fell into riotous will, you hated the beauty of this world, and withered the carnal games with fasting and thirst, and laying down on the earth, from the heat and cold, from the rain and You have never shied away from snow and other airy burdens: you have purified your soul with virtues like gold in a furnace, O Reverend God-bearing Father Michael, and now in heaven you stand before the throne of the Most Holy Trinity. But since you have much boldness, pray to Christ God that our souls may be saved.
