Tropar

You loved Christ from your youth, O blessed one,
and longing to work for Him alone you struggled in the wilderness in constant prayer and labor.
With penitent heart and great love for Christ you were favored by the Mother of God.
Therefore we cry to you:
"Save us by your prayers, venerable Seraphim, our father."

Kondak

Forsaking the beauty as well as the corruption of this world,
you settled in the monastery of Sarov, O Saint.
There you lived an angelic life,
becoming for many the way to salvation.
Therefore, Christ has glorified you, Father Seraphim,
enriching you with abundant healing and miracles.
So we cry to you: "Save us by your prayers, venerable Seraphim, our father."
