O sacred head, earthly angel, heavenly man, great miracle worker, Reverend Father Paphnutius! We earnestly resort to you with faith and love and tenderly ask for your intercession. We do not dare, for our sake, with the freedom of the children of God to ask our Lord and Master for mercy and forgiveness. But we offer you a prayer book to Him that is favorable and we pray that we ask from His goodness the gifts that are beneficial and saving for our souls: right faith, a strong standing in piety, forgiveness of sins, perfect correction of life, and turning from evil deeds to to please others, we do not anger the Lord of His holy commandments by transgressing. Pray, holy of God, to the Most High Creator to grant peace and piety to our Orthodox kingdom, and health and salvation and victory over enemies to our most pious sovereign and all of Russia. Preserve, O servant of Christ, your holy abode, which you created, and all who live and labor in it are free from all evil.
Look mercifully upon the people who stand before your relics, and fulfill all their requests for good. For all of us, spiritual and physical health, fruitfulness of the earth, a quiet and God-pleasing life, a good Christian death and a good answer at the Last Judgment from the All-Merciful God. To her, father, we know that your prayer can do much before the face of the Almighty Lord, and nothing is impossible for your intercession, unless you desire it: for this reason we trust in you for strength, and in your holy prayers we hope that you will bring us, through your intercession, into a quiet haven of salvation and the heirs of the bright Kingdom of Christ. Do not disgrace our hope, miracle-working saint, and grant us, together with you, the bliss of heaven, let us glorify, praise and magnify the great mercy towards us of the philanthropist God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your goodness fatherly intercession, forever and ever.
