First-called Apostle of God and our Savior Jesus Christ, supreme follower of the Church, all-validated Andrew! We glorify and magnify your apostolic labors, we sweetly remember your blessed coming to us, we honor your honorable suffering, which you endured for Christ, we kiss the saints your relics, we honor your holy memory and believe that as the Lord lives, your soul also lives, and you remain with Him forever in heaven, even as you do not forsake us with your love, Just as our fathers loved you, when by the Holy Spirit you saw for our earth’s conversion to Christ.
We believe that God prayed for us too, and in His light all our needs are in vain. Thus we confess this faith of ours in Your church, and we pray to the Lord and God and our Savior Jesus Christ, that through your prayers He will give us (names) everything we need for salvation us sinners; Yes, just as you, at the command of the Lord, had left your waste, you unswervingly followed Him, and every one from us, not his own, but to the building up of his neighbor, and let him think of a higher calling.
Having you as a representative and prayer book for us, we hope that your prayer can accomplish much before our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to Him belongs all glory, honor and worship with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
