(Podoben: “O citizen of the desert...”)
You proved to be a divinely-wise Patriarch of the Queen of Cities, / and the boast of Mount Athos, / the treasury of Serres, / the friend and advocate of the divine hesychasts of Christ; / wherefore O Father Kállistos, / all of us sing hymns to you crying out with joy: / “Glory to Christ Who glorified you. / Glory to Him Who made you wondrous. / Glory to Him Who, through you, gives us that which is best.”1
