O blessed Basil, | |||
venerable confessor of the Lord, | |||
by the merits of whose life shone | |||
a pillar of fire kindled from heaven, | |||
ask Christ on your servants' behalf | |||
that he pardon us for his friends. | |||
O blessed father Basil, | |||
beseech the benevolent Lord Jesus | |||
for our impieties. | |||
Oh, how right it is to honor that man | |||
whom in the form of a dove | |||
the Holy Spirit visited, | |||
Christ in his glory | |||
and with his saints the virgin Mary, | |||
who tyrants, who demons | |||
he conquered and subjected, | |||
put off death, died when he chose, | |||
and went to heaven, | |||
to reign for ever and ever. | |||
Amen. | |||
St. Effrem visited St. Basil, | |||
whom he found headed to a holy place, | |||
and saw speaking through his mouth | |||
a tongue of fire. | |||
"Truly," he said, "Basil is great; | |||
truly Basil is a pillar of fire; | |||
truly the Holy Spirit | |||
speaks in Basil." | |||
