St. Alexander, bishop of Methymna on Lesbos

As a rule of faith and model of tenderness, and teacher of abstinence hath the reality shewn thee unto thy flock; there withal hast thou acquired by humility greatness, by poverty riches; O father hierarch Alexander, intercede before Christ the God that our souls may be saved.

O divine thunder, spiritual trumpet, planter of faith and cutter off of heresies, great favourite of the Trinity, hierarch Alexander, standing with the angels before God do ever and unceasingly pray for us all.
