Oh, wonderful and glorious miracle worker Demetrius, healer of human ailments! You constantly pray to the Lord our God for all sinners: I pray to you, be my intercessor before the Lord and my helper to overcome the passions of my insatiable flesh and to overcome the arrows of the enemy my devil, who hurts my weak heart and, like a smooth and fierce beast, wants to destroy my soul. You, Saint of Christ, are my fence, you are my intercession and weapon! With your help, I will crush everything in me that is opposed to the will of the King of kings. You, great miracle worker, in the days of your exploits in this world, zealous for the Orthodox Church of God, like a true and good shepherd, kindly denounced your sins and ignorance human, and those who strayed from the path of truth into heresies and schisms, you guided them to the path of truth.
Make haste for me to correct the short-lived path of my life, so that I may unfalteringly follow the path of God’s commandments and work without laziness for my Lord Jesus Christ, as the only one My Lord, my Redeemer and my righteous Judge. Falling down to this, I pray to You, servant of God, when you remove my soul from my body, deliver me from dark ordeals, for I will not give good deeds for my justification, do not give Satan to be proud of the victory over my weak soul. Deliver me from Gehenna, where weeping and gnashing of teeth, and through your holy prayers make me a partaker of the Heavenly Kingdom in the Trinity of the glorified God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
