Oh, Saint Peter, great apostle, self-witness and companion of God, who was freed from the troubled waters and extreme drowning by the omnipotent right hand of your Teacher! Do not forget us, the poor, in the mire of sinful places and overwhelmed by the waves of the sea of life: give us your strong hand, help us and keep us from drowning in passions, lusts, lies and slander. Show us the mercy shown to you by the Lord, so that we do not give in to doubt and lack of faith. Teach us, our teacher, to shed tears of repentance, so that we weep bitterly for our deeds in this world. And if your tears, poured out in repentance, are covered by His mercy, your Lord and Teacher, ask for us, with apostolic boldness, forgiveness for our sins every hour.
This city, cast down at your holy feet, protects our salvation from the ever-present wiles of the evil enemy; Raise up your holy hands to the Lord for our people, so that we may live a quiet and silent life in this time until the hour when the Master Lord, our Judge, may call us impartial. But you, O all-praised apostle, do not turn away our cry and groaning to you, but intercede for us before Christ, your Teacher, so that we may continually glorify His mercy towards us, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, in eyelids of centuries. Amen.
