"You were made worthy of great gifts, O all-praised ones..."

Sts. Cosmas and Damian the Holy Wonderworking Unmercenaries (source)

You were made worthy of great gifts, O all-praised ones, for you lived your lives in humility upon the earth, and you proceed everywhere, granting the gifts of healing of the passions, and you appeared as fellow conversers with the Angels, O Kosmas together with Damian, the most joyous and wise brothers: do heal our passions as well, through your prayers.

-Idiomelon from the Vespers Aposticha for the Feast of Sts. Kosmas and Damian, by Germanos

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
