"Successor divine of Joseph the great Hesychast, cohabitant of noetic prayer and watchfulness, O ascetic angel-like, Philotheou's abbot and guardian, America's enlightener, Ephraim, we honour thee as our fervent advocate."

"Cease not for us beseeching, thou boast of all Athonites and divine apostle of all the ends of America, O Spirit-bearing Ephraim, that Christ may send down upon us from the heavens stregthening, might, and encouragement."

-Odes from Supplicatory Canon to our Venerable Father Ephraim of Philotheou and Arizona
