O glorification of the language of the Slovenian teachers and educators, holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Methodius and Cyril! To you, as children of our father, with the light of your teachings and writings of enlightenment and instruction in the faith of Christ, we now earnestly resort to you and pray in contrition of our hearts. If also your covenant, as disobedient children, was not kept, and about pleasing God, as you taught, carelessly, and from like-mindedness and love, like the Slavs, as brothers in faith and in the flesh, a good testament, apostate: both, as of old in your life, you do not turn away the ungrateful and unworthy from vanity, but reward evil with good, so even now you will not turn away your sinful and unworthy children from your prayers, but as those who have great boldness in the Lord, diligently pray to Him, that He may instruct and turn us to the path of salvation, May the divisions and discords that arise among brothers of the same faith, pacify the fallen ones, bring us all into unanimity and unite us all with unity of spirit and love in the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
We know, we know, how righteous prayer can do much for the mercy of the Lord, even if it is offered for sinful people. Do not forsake us, sad and unworthy of your children, whose sin is for the sake of your flock, gathered by you, divided by enmity and seduced by temptations from those of other faiths, diminished, and the sheep of their words are scattered from mental wolves and are devoured by them: give us, through your prayers, zeal for Orthodoxy, and with it Let us warm ourselves, we will preserve the traditions of our fathers well, we will faithfully observe the charters and customs of the church, we will run away from all strange false teachings, and so in living a life pleasing to God on earth, we will be honored with a life of paradise in heaven, and there together with you we will glorify the Lord of all, in the Trinity of the One God forever and ever.
