O sacred head, glorious miracle worker, chief shepherd of the holy Rostov Church, Saint Father Leonty! We fall down and pray to you, humble and sinners, and like a father who loves mankind, we ask: instill your love in our hearts, even as you were filled with God and your neighbors in your life, as you laid down your soul for your flock, having suffered as a martyr from idolaters. Teach us, Father, to imitate you faithfully, to love God and our neighbor sincerely and to fulfill the Lord’s commandments infallibly: and we, not only in name, but also in all our life, will be your children. Pray, servant of God, to Christ God for the Holy Orthodox Church and the Russian Empire, that they may remain in peace and prosperity and prosper in piety as unshakable Christians. With your prayers, preserve our Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich of all Russia in health and long life, subduing all enemies and adversaries under his nose. Keep the reigning cities, your city and all the cities and villages of the Russian country unharmed from all evil.
Look mercifully on every Christian soul who seeks mercy and help from you: be a healer to all of us in sickness, a comforter in sorrow, a deliverer in sorrow, a helper in troubles, a protector in the hour of death, so that through your prayers we too may sinners receive eternal salvation and the Kingdom of Christ. inherit. To her, the saint of Christ, we do not disgrace our hope, which according to God and the Most Holy Theotokos we firmly place in you, but show us your powerful intercession, so that we praise, glorify and magnify the great love of mankind in His saints, God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
