O Company of Feast-Lovers! Come, O Congregation of Believers! Come O Chorus of the Orthodox! And with songs of praise let us Crown our Teachers, that Ever Venerable Duo. They were the ones who vigorously brought down all darkness of offensive heresy and all deception of their opponents, by the Invincible Might of the Spirit, and they brightened the world with the Illuminations of the Knowledge of God. Now they Intercede for us who in Faith observe their memory.

For the hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and does not care for the Sheep. I Am the Good Shepherd, and know My Sheep, and Am known by My own. As the Father knows Me even so know I the Father; and I lay down My Life for the Sheep.
