Through thee the divine likeness was securely preserved, O Mother Emilia;
for
thou didst carry the cross and follow Christ.
By example and precept
thou didst teach us to ignore the body because it is perishable,
and to
attend to the concerns of the undying soul.
Therefore, doth thy soul
rejoice with the angels.
Many years!!
