O sacred head, wonderful wonderworker, reverend and God-bearing Father Demetrius! As we fervently fall to you, we pray: show us your humble and sinful intercession. Because it is a sin for our sake, the imams do not have boldness to the Lord, to ask for His gifts that are beneficial to us, but we offer you a prayer book favorable to Him, and we ask: we beseech from His goodness all that is for the benefit of our souls and bodies: right faith, undoubted hope, unfeigned love, courage in temptation, in suffering, patience, in prayers, constancy, in piety, prosperity, longed-for health, fruitfulness of the earth, goodness in the air, seasonable rains, contentment in life's needs, peace in our days and blessings from above on all our good deeds and undertakings, and may we not turn our gifts into evil Him, but for the glory of His holy name and for the glorification of your intercession for us.
Ask, O servant of Christ, from the King of kings and Lord of lords, our most pious, autocratic, great sovereign, Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich of all Russia, health, longevity, victory and victory against the enemy, and his peace and prosperity to the whole God-protected kingdom. Do not forget, miracle-working saint, to mercifully visit your city and your monastery and all the cities and towns of our Orthodox country, preserving and protecting them with your prayers from all evil. Remember all those who have faith and love for you, who mercifully call on your name and who come to venerate your relics, and mercifully fulfill all their good requests, overshadowing them with your patristic blessing from above. Hey, holy of God! Do not deprive us sinners of your powerful intercession, but grant us the end of a good life and the Kingdom of Heaven to inherit, so that we may sing and glorify our wondrous God in His saints, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
