the grace which gleams from your mouth,
like a torch, has illumined the world,
has laid up treasures ungrudgingly for the world
and has manifested to us the loftiness of humility.
As you instruct us with your words,
dear Father John Chrysostom,
intercede with the Word, Christ our Lord,
for the salvation of our souls. AMEN.
