The Aposticha Prayers for the Vespers on Saturday Evening of the 2nd Week of Great Lent:
Your tongue, watchful in teaching, rings in the ears of our hearts and awakens the souls of the slothful, leading us from earth to Heaven. Your words, inspired by God, are a ladder leading us from earth to Heaven. O Gregory, wonder of Thessalonica, pray to Christ without ceasing, that we who honor you may be illuminated with the divine light.
O Virgin who knew not carnal union, O you who ineffably carried God in the flesh, O Mother of almighty God, O woman without stain: accept the prayers of your servants. O you who obtain for all us the cleansing of sins: accept now our supplications, and intercede for the salvation of us all.
