O great martyr of Christ John, champion of the faithful, chaser of enemies, patron of the Christ-loving army and intercessor of the offended! Hear us, in troubles and sorrows, we pray to you, for grace has been given to you from God to console the sad, to help the weak, to deliver the innocent from vain death, and to pray for all those who suffer evil. May our champion be strong against all our visible and invisible enemies, for with your help and struggle we will be put to shame by all those who show us evil. Pray to our Lord, that He may grant us, His sinful and unworthy servants, to receive from Him the ineffable goodness that is prepared for those who love Him, in the Trinity of the Holy Ones, glorifying God, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
