O great and glorious saint of Christ, God-wise teacher of the whole universal Church, firm confessor and champion of Orthodoxy, blessed Father Basil! Look down from the heights of heaven upon us, who humbly fall to you, and beg the Lord Almighty, whose faithful servant you were on earth, to grant us firm and unchangeable preservation of the right faith, obedience to the Church of the saints, correction of our lives, and speedy help in all our needs, sorrows and temptations, patience and strength. Grant us your holy blessing, so that in this fall, in this new summer and on all days pleasing to God, we may live in peace and repentance, and in the Kingdom of Heaven we will be honored with you and all the saints to sing and glorify the Life-Giving Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever centuries.
