About our reverend and blessed father Nikandra, a patient, fast-hearted faster, preferring silence to the zealot, a wise teacher of those who want to be saved, a quiet punisher of the lazy, a kindly resolver of corrupting passions, a husband of desires, prophetic insight more fulfilled, a forerunner of future blessings the tartar, the adamantine of faith in Christ, the indestructible, unshakable pillar of patience, the obedient perfecter of the commandments of your Creator, the flesh-bearing angel and the fragrant receptacle of the Holy Spirit, a desert dweller and a demon-driver, a humble-wise performer of all virtues, a heavenly man and a cohabitant with the heavenly ranks, By the meekness of the spirit, you have inherited the land of the meek, friend of Christ and servant of the Most Holy Theotokos, even the reliquary of your celibate relics in your church, deign to glorify the miraculous rain abundantly from it on the faithful!
Falling to her with love, we pray to you most wonderfully: do not cease to pray to the Most Holy and Life-Giving Trinity, to bestow upon our blessed emperor health, peace and longevity, and to his enemies victory and victory, and from the slander of the enemy, to preserve his army in peace: to the churches harmony, and to grant peace and abundance of good things to all people. And extinguish, blessed one, with your prayers the kindled demonic arrows hovering at us, so that sinful malice may not touch us. And having mercifully bestowed everything upon all, look also upon me, a humble servant: for I am bound by cruel captives of sins, and dragged, woe is me! into the abyss of the passionate sea uncontrollably. For this reason, I diligently pray to your shrine, O rich one, and I fall before the race of your relics with tears: stand before me on the path of this disastrous life: break the bonds, remove passions, loosen from sinful chains, deliver me from present sorrow and from all evil, release me from painful bonds and beg me for the salvation of my soul, as if yes I will sing and glorify in the Trinity the One God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
