Before, by rejecting the world, like the troubles of the sea, you escaped, the reverend fathers: after the will of God in the waters of the sea, you accepted your blessed death, and left the earth rejoicing to a painless rest. Thus, even after the death of Christ God, miracles were abundantly glorified; warmth in troubles was shown to the faithful helpers [helpers]. And now in heaven, standing before the throne of Christ, most blessed Vassiana and most glorious Jonah, pray continually for our souls.
