Oh, great saint of God, chosen by God and glorified by God, equal to the apostles to Prince Vladimir! You, having rejected pagan evil and wickedness, have believed in the One True Trinitarian God, and we will receive Holy Baptism, the entire Russian country with the light of Divine faith and piety you enlightened. Moreover, we glorify and thank our most merciful Creator and Savior, we glorify and thank you, our Enlightener and Father, for by you we know the saving faith of Christ and in the name of the Most Holy and the Most Divine Trinity we are baptized. Thus, by faith we have been delivered from the righteous condemnation of God, and we have been freed from eternal work to the devil and the torment of hell; With this faith is the grace of sonship to God and the hope of inheriting Heavenly bliss.

Moreover, we glorify you, as the first language of our guide to the Chief and Perfecter of salvation, our Lord Jesus Christ, and your representative before the Throne of the King of Kings for the Kingdom of All Russia knowledge, about his kings, the rulers of the people, the army and about all the people. Our language will not be able to depict the greatness and height of the blessings that you poured out on our earth, our fathers and forefathers and on us unworthy. O our blessed Father and Enlightener! Look at our weaknesses and beg the most merciful King of Heaven, may he not be so angry with us, as through our weaknesses we sin all day long, and may he not destroy us with our iniquities, but may he have mercy and He will save us by His mercy, may He plant repentance and the saving fear of God into our hearts, may He enlighten our minds with His grace, so that He may leave us the paths of wickedness and turn steadily to the path of salvation and keep the commandments of God and the statutes of the Holy Church.

Pray, O kindhearted God, the Lover of Mankind, that He may show us His great mercy: may He deliver us from the invasion of foreigners, from riots and strife, from famine, deadly diseases and from all evil; may he give us the blessing of the air and the fruitfulness of the earth; May he preserve righteousness and mercy in judges and rulers; may he give the shepherds zeal for the salvation of his flock, may he give mutual love and like-mindedness to all people, may he give constant care for the success of the fatherland and the Holy Church, may he multiply the light of saving faith in the country Let us convert our unbelievers to orthodoxy, and overthrow heresies and schisms, so that all of us, who have lived in peace on earth, may be made worthy of eternal bliss with you, praising and exalting God forever and ever. Amen.
