preserved the Dignity of Gods

Image in Thee, and through
Asceticism Thou set Thy mind to
rule over the destructive passions;
and thus Thou ascended to the
Likeness of God as far as possible.
For Thou had manfully exerted force
on Thy nature, and hastened to
subordinate the inferior to the
superior, and to make the flesh
subservient to the soul. Therefore
Thou became the ultimate Monastic,
the Founder of the Desert, Teaching
of those who live with integrity, the
most exact Rule of Virtue. Now, in
Heaven, O Blessed Savvas, Thou gaze
no longer at reflections in a mirror,
but clearly at the Holy Trinity,
Interceding directly for those who
with Faith and Love honour Thee.
Wisdom!

PRAYER
Let us praise Mary the Ever Virgin, Glory

of all the world! Born of human
parents, She gave Birth to our Lord,
and is the Gateway to Heaven. The
Adornment of the Faithful, She is
hymned by the Angelic Hosts. For
She has been shown to be Heaven,
and the Temple of the Godhead. She
is the One Who, breaking down the
Wall of Enmity, ushered in peace and
threw open the Kingdom. With Her,
as the Anchor of our Faith, we have a
Defender in our Lord, to Whom She
gave Birth. Take Courage, therefore,
O People of God, take Courage! For
He, the Almighty, will defeat our
enemies!
