O all-praised and all-honorable bishop, great miracle worker, saint of Christ, Father Nicholas, man of God and faithful servant, husband of desires, chosen vessel, strong pillar of the church, lampstand bright one, shining star and illuminating the whole universe! You are a righteous man, like a flourishing phoenix, planted in the courts of your Lord: alive in Mirech, you smelled the fragrance of the myrrh, and the myrrh flowed with the ever-flowing grace of God: by your procession, holy father, the sea Be sanctified, when your many miraculous powers marched into the lordly city, from East to West to praise the name of the Lord. O most graceful and wonderful miracle worker, quick helper, warm intercessor, kind shepherd, save the verbal flock from all troubles!
We glorify you and magnify you, as the hope of all Christians, the source of miracles, the protector of the faithful, the wise teacher, those who hunger for a feeder, those who weep with joy, those who are naked, those who are sick, those who are sick, those who swim on the sea, those who swim on the sea, those who are captives of the liberator, widows and orphans a nourisher and protector, a guardian of chastity, infants a gentle chastiser, old fortifications, fasting mentors, rest for the toilers, abundant wealth for the poor and wretched. Hear us praying to you and running under your roof, manifest your intercession for us to the Most High, and intercede with your God-pleasing prayers everything useful for the salvation of our souls and bodies: preserve this holy monastery [or this church], every city and the whole, and every country Christian, and people living, from all embitterment with your help.
We know, we know, how much can the prayer of the righteous, hastening for good: for you, the righteous, according to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, representative to the All-Merciful God of the Imam, and to yours, most gracious father, warm intercession and We humbly flow to intercession. You have kept us, like a cheerful and good shepherd, from all enemies, destruction, cowardice, hail, famine, flood, fire, sword, invasion of foreigners, and in all our troubles and sorrows, give us your hand help, and open the doors of God’s mercy: for we are not worthy to see the heights of heaven, because of the multitude of our iniquities: we are bound by sinful bonds, and not by the will of our Creator, nor keeping His commandments.
Moreover, we bend the knee of our contrite and humble heart to our Creator, and we ask for your fatherly intercession to Him: help us, servant of God, so that we do not perish with our iniquities: deliver us from all evil and from all things that are opposed, guide our minds, and strengthen our hearts in the right faith, in it through your intercession and intercession, neither with wounds, nor with rebuke, nor with pestilence, nor with any wrath from our Creator We will be humbled, but we will live a peaceful life here, and may we be honored to see good things on the living earth, glorifying the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the One in the Trinity, glorified and worshiped God, now and ever and unto the ages of ages.
