Ask our most pious, autocratic, great sovereign, Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich and the entire reigning house, a prosperous and peaceful life, health, longevity, good haste and salvation in everything.
Preserve and make wise the shepherds of the Church, who are worthy to shepherd the flock of Christ and the right to rule the word of truth: strengthen the Christ-loving All-Russian army, give the spirit of advice and reason to the military commander, the mayor and everyone in power: send down Your holy blessing to all Orthodox Christians who worship Thee and pray before Your celibate icon.

To whom shall we bring tears and sighs, if not You, Most Holy Theotokos? There are no other imams of help, no other imams of hope, except for You, Heavenly Queen. We flow under Your protection: through Your prayers send us peace, health, fruitfulness of the earth, goodness of the air, deliver us from all troubles and sorrows, from all ailments and illnesses, from sudden death and from all the bitterness of enemies visible and invisible. Enlighten and teach us, O All-Merciful Intercessor, to pass the path of this earthly life without sin.
