Duly enlisted in the spiritual army of the celestial King, the Master and Savior, you became a decorated officer, O Saint. Armed with faith, you fought the hordes of the demons and crushed them, emerging victorious, as a great and holy Martyr, and as a gift of God in name and deed. Hence we the faithful extol you, O Theodore.
