Oh, great saint John Chrysostom! You have received many and varied gifts from the Lord and, like a good and faithful servant, you have multiplied all the talents given to you, for this reason you truly were the universal teacher, for every age and every rank learns from you. We, sinners (names), each having our own gift, the unity of the spirit in the union of the world, are not imams, but we are vainglorious, irritating each other, envious of each other; Therefore, for the sake of our gift, we are divided not into peace and salvation, but into enmity and condemnation.

Moreover, we fall to you, the saint of God, overwhelmed by discord, and in contrition of heart we ask: through your prayers drive away from our hearts all malice, ill will, pride and envy that divides us, so that in many places we may remain one church body without restraint, so that, according to your prayerful words, we will love each other and with one mind confess the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Trinity, Consubstantial and Indivisible, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
