The Three Hierarchs

Icon of the Three Hierarchs: Basil the Great (left), John Chrysostom (center) and Gregory the Theologian (right). From Wikipedia.

ALMIGHTY God, we honour before thee the three great torch-bearers of the triune Godhead, thy saints Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom, who have enlightened the world with the rays of their divine doctrines, and who with godly knowledge have watered all creation in clear and mighty streams. Among them, there are no divisions, and no opposition to one another. Let it be so with us, that we may worship thee in unity of mind and spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all glory, dominion, and honour, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
