O blessed Saint Demetrius, great saint of Christ, Chrysostom of Russia! Hear us sinners praying to you, and bring our prayer to the Merciful and Humane-loving God, to whom you now stand in the joy of the saints and in the faces of the Angel: implore His mercy, so that He will not condemn us for our iniquity, but may He deal with us according to His mercy. Ask us from Christ our God for a peaceful and serene life, mental and physical health, earthly prosperity, and all abundance and prosperity in everything, and may we turn the good things given to us from the generous God not into evil, but into His glory and the glorification of your intercession.
Grant us a godly opportunity to cross the path of temporary life: deliver us from airy ordeals, and guide us on the path leading to the villages of the righteous, where those who celebrate the unceasing voice, who behold the indescribable kindness of God’s face: preserve the holy Church from schisms and heresies, strengthen the faithful, convert the erring, and grant to all everything that is appropriate for the salvation and glory of God: save your fatherland from enemies without hatred, but overcome the weapons of the crusader army: and grant us all your archpastoral and holy blessing, so that by it we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and escape from all misfortune and adversity. Hear our prayer, Father Demetrius, and pray unceasingly for us to the Almighty God, glorified and worshiped in three hypostases, to Him belongs all glory, honor and power forever and ever.
