O Saint Peter, great apostle, self-witness and companion of God, by the omnipotent right hand of your Teacher, taken from the troubled waters and freed from the final drowning! Do not forget us poor ones, sunk in the mire of sins and overwhelmed by the waves of the sea of life: give us your strong hand, help us and keep us from drowning in passions, lusts, lies and slander. Show us the mercy shown to you by the Lord, so that we do not give in to doubt and lack of faith. Teach us, our teacher, to shed tears of repentance, and weep bitterly for our deeds in this world. And if your tears, poured out in repentance, were covered by His mercy, the Lord and your Teacher asked us, with apostolic boldness, forgiveness for the sin of hourly renouncing our evil thoughts and deeds from Christ.
This reigning city, cast down at your holy feet, has been preserved, and from the coming wiles of the evil enemy of our salvation, the fence of our salvation: lift up your reverend hands to the Lord for our king, so that we may live a quiet and silent life in this world until the hour when the Master Lord, our Judge, calls us impartial. But you, O all-praised apostle, do not reject our cry and groaning to you, but intercede for us before Christ your Teacher, so that we may continually glorify His mercy towards us, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
