"My heart, beset by passions, hath been weakened by the evil one, shamefully laying in the tomb of slothfulness, covered by a lack of feeling as with a tombstone, O Savior. Do Thou by Thy lifegiving Cross by which Thou hast enlivened all those in Hades, awaken me and grant me life." + Elevation of the Venerable and Life-Giving Cross, Sept 14/ Sept 27
