O sacred head, Reverend Father, Most Blessed Abvo Sergius the Great! Do not forget your poor to the end, but remember us in your holy and auspicious prayers to God. Remember your flock, which you yourself shepherded, and do not forget to visit your children. Pray for us, holy father, for your spiritual children, as if you have boldness towards the Heavenly King, do not remain silent for us to the Lord and do not despise us, who honor you with faith and love. Remember us, unworthy of the Throne of the Almighty, and do not cease praying for us to Christ God, for grace has been given to you to pray for us. We do not think that you are dead, even though you have passed away from us in body, but even after death you remain alive.

Do not give up on us in spirit, keeping us from the arrows of the enemy, and all the charms of the demon, and the snares of the devil, our good shepherd; Even though your relics are always visible before our eyes, your holy soul stands with the angelic hosts, with the disembodied faces, with the Heavenly Powers, at the Throne of the Almighty, having fun properly. Knowing that you are truly alive even after death, we bow down to you and we pray to you, even to pray for us to Almighty God for the benefit of our souls, and to ask for time for repentance, and for what is not forbidden the transition from earth to Heaven, but the bitter ordeals, demons, princes of the air and eternal torment will be delivered, and the Kingdom of Heaven will be an heir with all the righteous, who have pleased from all eternity Our Lord Jesus Christ. To Him belongs all glory, honor and worship with His Beginning Father, and with His Most Holy, and Good, and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

O Heavenly citizen of Jerusalem, Reverend Father Sergius! Look at us (names) with mercy and lead those who are devoted to the earth to the heights of Heaven. You are a mountain in Heaven; We are on earth, below, removed from you, not only by place, but by our sins and iniquities; But to you, as we are close to us, we come running and cry: instruct us to walk in your path, enlighten us and guide us. It is characteristic of you, our Father, to be compassionate and to love mankind: as I live on earth, I should care not only for my own salvation, but also for all those who come to you. Your instructions were like the reed of a cursive scribe, inscribing the verbs of Life on everyone’s heart. You didn’t just heal physical illnesses, but more than spiritual illnesses, you appeared as an elegant physician, and your whole holy life was a mirror of all virtue. How much more were you, O Holy One of God, on earth: how much more are you now in Heaven!

Today you stand before the Throne of the Unapproachable Light, and in It, as in the Mirror, you see all our needs and requests; You are together with the Angels, rejoicing over the one sinner who repents. And God’s love for mankind is inexhaustible, and your boldness towards Him is abundant: do not stop crying to the Lord for us. Through your intercession, ask our All-Merciful God for the peace of His Church, under the sign of the militant Cross, agreement in faith and unity of wisdom, the destruction of vanity and schisms, establishment in good things delekh, healing for the sick, consolation for the sad, intercession for the offended, help for the needy. Do not disgrace us, who flow to you with faith. Even though you are unworthy of such a father and intercessor, you, an imitator of God’s love for mankind, were created worthy through conversion from evil deeds to a good life. All God-enlightened Russia, filled with your miracles and blessed with graces, confesses you to be its patron and protector.

Show your ancient mercies, and those whom you helped your father, do not deny us, their children, who are marching towards you in their footsteps. We believe that you are present with us in spirit. For where there is a Lord, as His Word teaches us, there also will be His servant. You are a faithful servant of the Lord, and God exists everywhere, you are in Him, and He is in you, and you are also with us in body. Behold your incorruptible and life-giving relics, like a priceless treasure, God grant us miracles. Before them, as I live for you, we fall down and pray: accept our prayers and offer them on the altar of God’s mercy, that we may receive grace from you and be timely for our needs help. Strengthen us, the faint-hearted, and confirm us in the faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the good from the Benevolence of the Master through your prayers.

Do not cease to guide your spiritual flock, which you have gathered, with the rod of spiritual wisdom: help those who struggle, restore the weak, hasten to bear the yoke of Christ in complacency and patience, and all of us rule in peace and repentance to end our lives and settle with hope in the blessed bosom of Abraham, where you now rest joyfully from your labors and struggles, glorifying with everyone saints of God, glorified in the Trinity, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O our reverend and God-bearing Father Sergius! Look at us (names) mercifully and lead those who are devoted to the earth to the Heights of Heaven. Strengthen our cowardice and confirm us in faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the Good from the Benevolence of the Lord God through your prayers. By your intercession, ask for every gift that is beneficial to everyone and everyone, and through your prayers, all of us, on the day of the Last Judgment, will be spared, and the gums of the country will be commoners and Hear the blessed voice of the Lord Christ: Come, blessed ones of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Amen.
