“When you bravely bore persecutions for the Faith, you convicted every heresy and chased it far off; when your tongue and hand were severed, O blest Maximos, you received a shining crown from the very hand of your Creator for your confession. O Father, ceaselessly pray to Him that He now bestow His mercy on our souls.”
Holy Father Euthymius, pray to God for us! “You became a priest of supernatural and mystic visions, O God bearing Father, offering unbelievers to Christ when, through your teachings, they worthily believed in His Godhead and were instructed in better things.”
A Greek monk.
