Today,

Hierarchs everywhere exult in spirit, and all together we honour Thy Memory, O Righteous Hierarch Chrysostom, the Churchs Luminary.

ton olon Piiti Klino to goni, to proeonio Logo hieras ektino, Logou ziton Harisma, ina imniso ton Osion, on aftos emegaline. Fisi gar to Profiti, O Zon is tous eonas. Doxazo tous en Pisti Doxazontas me. O oun en tis pale ton Samouil anipsosas, edoxase nin ton Ierarhin. To talanton gar O epistevthi, kalos emporevsamenos, to Vasili prosigage. Dio ke iperipsosen afton O iperrousios. Toutou Harin eto O anazios ego Logon dothine m, ina ishiso evsevos animnise afton. Ton peraton gar iparhi kathigitis, os ta Thia Safon.

To the Maker of all I bend the knee, to

the Word Pre-Eternal I extend my hands, seeking the Gift of Speech, so that I may extol that devout man whom He magnified. He Who lives forever once said to the Prophet: I Glorify those who in Faith Glorify Me. And so, He Who of old exalted Samuel has now Glorified the Hierarch. For he invested well the talent with which he was entrusted, and he now offers it to the King; and for this Transcendent One exalted him transcendently. That is why I, the unworthy, request that speech be granted to me, so that I may be able to extol him piously. For, elucidating Things Divine, He is the worlds Teacher and Guide.

Ke

nin ke Ai ke is tous eonas ton eonon. tis Theotokou Presvies, Eleimon, exalipson ta plithi ton emon egklimaton.

Now

and ever, and to the Ages of Ages. the Intercessions of the Theotokos, O Merciful One, blot out the multitude of my transgressions.
