Desert dweller, and in body an Angel,/ and a miracle worker appeared, O God-bearing Father Moses:/ by fasting, vigil, prayer, received Heavenly gifts,/ healing the sick, and souls of those who come to you by faith./ Glory to Him who gave you strength,/ glory to Him who crowned you,// glory to Him who works healing for you all.
Having killed the Murinas, and spat on the faces of the demons,/ you mentally shone/ like the bright sun,/ with the light of your life// and instructing our souls with teaching.
Oh, the great power of repentance! Oh, the immeasurable depth of God’s mercy! You, Reverend Moses, were first a robber, but then you were horrified by your sins, grieved over them and in repentance came to the monastery and there in great lamentation about your iniquities and difficult deeds spent his days until his death and was awarded Christ’s grace of forgiveness and the gift of miracles.
Oh, reverend, you have achieved wonderful virtues from grave sins, help the slaves (names) praying to you, who are drawn to destruction from the fact that they indulge in immeasurable consumption harmful to the soul and body wine. Bow your merciful gaze on them, do not turn away or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you.
Pray, holy Moses, to the Lord Christ, that He, the Merciful, may not reject them, and may the devil not rejoice at their destruction, but may the Lord have mercy on these powerless and unfortunate ones (names), who are possessed by a destructive passion drunkenness, because we are all God’s creatures and have been redeemed by the Most Pure Blood of His Son. Hear, O Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, give them the strength to overcome their passion, help them, stretch out your hand, lead them to the path of good, free them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from drinking wine, so that they, renewed, in sobriety and a bright mind, would love abstinence and piety and eternally glorify the All-Good God, who always saves his creatures. Amen.
