Oh, great servant of Christ, holy righteous Father John of Kronstadt, wondrous to the shepherd, quick helper and merciful representative! Raising praise to the Triune God, you prayerfully cried out: Your name is Love: do not reject me, the erring one. Your name is Strength: strengthen me, who is weak and falling. Your name is Light: enlighten my soul, darkened by worldly passions. Your name is Peace: pacify my restless soul. Now, grateful for your intercession, the All-Russian flock prays to you: Christ-named and righteous servant of God! Illuminate us, sinners and weaklings, with your love, grant us to bear worthy fruits of repentance and to partake of the Mysteries of Christ without condemnation. By your power, strengthen our faith in us, support us in prayer, heal ailments and diseases, deliver us from misfortunes, enemies, visible and invisible.
With the light of your face, move the servants and primates of the Altar of Christ to the holy deeds of pastoral work, bestow education on children, instruct youth, support old age, shrines of churches and illuminate the holy monasteries! Die, wonder-working and most visionary, the peoples of our country, by the grace and gift of the Holy Spirit, deliver from internecine warfare, gather the scattered, convert and unite the seduced Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. By your grace, preserve marriage in peace and like-mindedness, grant prosperity and blessings to monastics in good deeds, give cowardly consolation to those suffering from unclean spirits, freedom, in need and have mercy on the current circumstances and guide us on the path of salvation. In Christ living, our Father John, lead us to the Everlasting Light of eternal life, so that we may be worthy with you of eternal bliss, praising and exalting God forever centuries. Amen.
