O wonderful Father Seraphim, great miracle worker of Sarov, quick and obedient helper to all who come running to you! During the days of your earthly life, no one left you weary and inconsolable, but everyone was blessed with the vision of your face and the benevolent voice of your words. Moreover, the gift of healing, the gift of insight, the gift of healing for weak souls has appeared abundantly in you. When God called you from earthly labors to heavenly rest, your love ceased from us, and it is impossible to count your miracles, multiplying like the stars of heaven: for you appeared to all the ends of our earth as the people of God and granted them healing.
In the same way, we cry out to you: O most quiet and meek servant of God, daring man of prayer to Him, who calls upon you in no way, rejecting you in no way, lift up your powerful prayer for us to the Lord of Hosts, may He grant us all that is useful in this life and all that is useful for spiritual salvation, may He protect us from the falls of sins and teach us true repentance, in without stumbling, lead us into the eternal Heavenly Kingdom, where you now shine in unfathomable glory, and there sing with all the saints the Life-Giving Trinity until the end of the age. Amen.
O great servant of God, venerable and God-bearing Father Seraphim! Look down from the glory on high upon us, the humble and weak, burdened with many sins, your help and consolation for those asking. Reach out to us with your compassion and help us to preserve the commandments of the Lord immaculately, to firmly maintain the Orthodox faith, to diligently offer repentance for our sins to God, to gracefully prosper in piety as Christians and to be worthy of your prayerful intercession for us. To her, Holy One of God, hear us praying to you with faith and love, and do not despise us who demand your intercession; now and at the hour of our death, help us and protect us with your prayers from the evil slander of the devil, so that those powers do not possess us, but may we be honored with your help to inherit the bliss of the abode of paradise. We now place our hope in you, merciful father: be truly a guide to salvation for us and lead us to the unevening light of Eternal Life through your God-pleasing intercession
Throne of the Most Holy Trinity, may we glorify and sing with all the saints the venerable Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
