Term of God, truly Holy Term and inheritance of our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, the heavenly stadium of spiritual struggles, a place of asceticism, repentance, and prayer, and a workshop of holiness for the countless ascetics, hermits, monks, anonymous and named, a boast and crown of the Holy Mother Church of Christ, the Great Church of Constantinople, under its canonical and spiritual jurisdiction and constant ecclesiastical care and concern, as well as unceasing prayer for the Ecumenical Church, secretly watered by the monks' unceasingly night and day prayers "for the peace from above and for the salvation of souls" of the Orthodox Christians on earth, but also "for the peace of the whole world and the stability of the Holy Churches of God".
