Τὴν σεβάσμιον ταύτην καὶ ἁγίαν σύνοδον πιστῶς γεραίρομεν, τὴν ἐν Φλωρεντίᾳ ἱερῶς συναχθεῖσαν ἐν πνεύματι καὶ τὰς ἐκκλησίας διερρηγμένας ἀνιάτως ἐν ἑνώσει αὐτὰς κατευθύνασαν.

Ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἀληθῶς πεπλήρωται, ἡ πάλαι φήσασα ἱερῷ τῷ Πέτρῳ· Ἐπιστρέψας στηρίξεις εἰς ἕνωσίν σου τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου. Ἐγὼ γὰρ, Πέτρε, ἐδεήθην, ἵνα μήποτε λείψῃ ἡ πίστις σου.

Νῦν ὁ Ῥώμης προστάτης· ὁ κλεινὸς Εὐγένιος, πάντας συνήθροισε ἐν τῇ Φλωρεντίᾳ ὡς τὴν πίστιν κατέχων ἀκλόνητον, καὶ στηρίξας πάντος, καὶ πρὸς αὐτὴν καθοδηγήσας, τοῦ Σωτῆρος τὸν λόγον ἐκπλήρωσε.

Συνελθόντες ἐν πίστει, πάντες μακαρίζομέν σε τὴν πανάμωμον, τὴν τὰ διεστῶτα παραδόξως, Παρθένε, συνάψασαν τῷ σεπτῷ σου τόκῳ, ἀλλὰ καὶ νῦν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τὴν εἰρήνην καλῶς προξενήσασαν.

With faith we honor this venerable and holy synod, devoutly gathered in the Spirit in Florence, to set aright in unity the desperately divided churches.

The voice of the Savior is truly fulfilled, which said long ago to blessed Peter: “Having returned, support your brethren in your unity; for I prayed, Peter, that you may never be lacking in faith.”

Now the protector of Rome, the glorious Eugenius, in order to uphold the faith unshaken, gathered everyone in Florence, and supporting all and conducting them toward that faith, he fulfilled the word of the Savior.

Gathered in faith we all bless you, most-pure Virgin, who once miraculously joined the separated things [i.e. humanity and divinity] through your sacred Offspring, but who have now rightly secured peace for the churches
