O our good shepherd and godly mentor, reverend Father Gerasima! Hear us praying to you and calling for your speedy intercession for help. See us sinners in our present circumstances: see us weak, caught everywhere, deprived of every good, and darkened in mind from cowardice. Strive, servant of God, do not leave us to remain in sinful captivity, so that we may not joyfully be our enemy and die in our evil deeds. Pray for us, unworthy of the Lord the Savior, to whom you stand with disembodied faces. Let our Creator be merciful to us in this world and in the future, so that he will not reward us according to our deeds and the impurity of our hearts: but according to His goodness, let him do it to us. We trust in your intercession, we boast of your intercession, we call upon your intercession for help, and to your unworthy tomb, we ask for healing.
Deliver us, saints of Christ, from the evil ones who come upon us, and tame the waves of passions and troubles that rise against us, so that for the sake of your holy prayers the attack will not overwhelm us, and we will not sink into the abyss of sins and the mud of our passions. Pray, Reverend Father Gregory, Christ our God, may He grant us a peaceful life, forgiveness of sins, and salvation and great mercy for our souls, now and forever.
