O sacred head, reverend father, most blessed Abvo Sergius the Great! Do not forget your poor to the end: but always remember us in your holy and auspicious prayers to God. Remember your flock, which you yourself have shepherded, and do not forget to visit your children. Pray for us, holy father, for your spiritual children, as you have boldness towards the Heavenly King: do not keep silent to the Lord for us, and do not despise us, who honor you with faith and love. Remember us unworthy at the throne of the Almighty, and do not cease praying for us to Christ God: for grace has been given to you to pray for us. We do not imagine that you are dead: even though you passed away from us in body, you remain alive even after death. Do not give up on us in spirit, keeping us from the arrows of the enemy and all the charms of the demonic and the wiles of the devil, our good shepherd. Even though your relics are always visible before our eyes, your holy soul with the angelic armies, with the disembodied faces, with the heavenly powers, stands at the throne of the Almighty, worthy of rejoicing.
Knowing that you are truly a living being after death, we bow down to you and pray to you: pray for us to the Almighty God, for the benefit of our souls, and ask us time for repentance, so that we may pass from earth to heaven without restraint, from bitter ordeals, demons of the princes of the air and from eternal torment may we be delivered, and heirs of the Heavenly Kingdom, may we be with all the righteous, who from time immemorial have pleased our Lord Jesus Christ: to whom is due all glory, honor and worship, with His Beginning Father, and with His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
