The truth of things revealed you to your flock as a rule of faith, / a model of meekness, and a teacher of temperance. / Through humility, you attained the heights; / and through poverty, riches. / O Father and Hierarch Ambrose, intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved.

Let us all honor the glorious Hierarch Ambrose, / the namesake of ambrosia, the instructor of Italy, / the protector of Christ's Church, and leader of Milan, / a son of his diocese, and the greatest supporter of the poor, / for he intercedes with the Lord to have mercy on our souls.

You renounced the world in favor of the spirit, / seeking the one God with your whole heart, O Anthony. / You retreated to a far wilderness, near waters, / in tears and labors living the angelic life. / You gathered a multitude of monks in your wisdom. / Visit them and cease not to implore the Holy Trinity / to deliver us from evil / And to save our souls!
