O most blessed and ever-glorious Father Joasapha! Leading by your great boldness towards God and resorting to your firm intercession, in contrition of heart we pray to you: illuminate us with the light of the grace given to you, and with your prayers help us to calmly pass through the stormy sea of this life and safely reach the haven of salvation. Behold, beings who are enslaved by vain things, sin-loving and infirmities arise from the evils that have befallen us, to whom shall we resort, if not to you, who has shown the inexhaustible wealth of mercy in your earthly life? We believe that even after your departure you acquired a great gift to show mercy for the needy.
Likewise, now falling to the whole-bearing tomb, we tenderly ask you, holy saint of God: having been tempted, help us also who are tempted: by fasting and vigil, trample down the demonic power, and protect us from the attacks of the enemy: those who are perishing with hunger, and ask us from the Lord for an abundance of the fruits of the earth and everything for salvation necessary: disgracing heretical wisdom, protect the Holy Church from heresies and schisms and confusion with your prayers, so that we all may be wise, with one heart glorifying the Holy, Consubstantial, Life-giving and Indivisible Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
