I pray thee, O Merciful Lord, let all mankind, from Adam to the end of time, come to know Thee, that Thou art good and merciful, that all nations may rejoice in Thy peace, and behold the light of Thy countenance. Thy gaze is tranquil and meek and draws the soul to Thee.St. Silouan the Athonite

Troparion for St. Silouan

By prayer thou didst receive Christ as thy teacher in the way of humility, and the Spirit bare witness to salvation in thy heart. Wherefore all peoples called unto hope rejoice in this day of thy memorial, O sacred father Silouan; pray unto Christ our God for the salvation of our souls.
