O venerable and God-bearing Father Alexander! Having great boldness towards God, pray unceasingly for all of us, before the storm of many troubles and sorrows will overwhelm us: for physical ailments, mental illnesses, and the attacks of the enemy overwhelm us. For our enemy is walking around, looking for someone to devour: but we, careless of our salvation, are not worthy to look below the heights of heaven, nor to call upon the Lord for our help. But be a quick helper to our salvation and an invincible deliverer from evils. Give us the memory of death, tears of repentance and hope of salvation, so that we do not fall into despair, let us not fall into despair, let us rely less boldly on God’s mercy, and by remaining in our sins, let us ultimately destroy ourselves: but may the memory of our sins be a source of warm tears and contrition of our hearts, and God’s mercy and His grace for our salvation, through your prayers, may it be given to us, yours child, forever and ever.
