O great luminary, illuminating the ends of the whole world, more passion-bearing than Christ’s Nikito! Today, movingly approaching your icon and kissing this icon, we earnestly pray to you: ask us from Christ our God for forgiveness of sins, correction of life, and all that is good for temporal and eternal life. O most honorable and glorious passion-bearer of Christ! Do not despise our prayer and do not leave us running to you, but look mercifully at us and at our earthly vale: remember us who wander and come, and with the power given to you by God, guide us to the Heavenly Fatherland: strengthen our weakness, protect us from the fall of sin, kindle in us holy love for the Lord, and zeal for our salvation Grant us: plant the fear of Divine in our hearts, and direct our feet to do the commandments of Christ. By your intercession, ask our All-Merciful God for the peace of His Church, for people to be united in faith, to destroy vanities and schisms, and to affirm in good deeds: healing for the sick, consolation for the sad, intercession for the offended, help for the needy.
Most of all, through your prayer, make us all live chastely and righteously and piously in this present age, so that ever the hour of death and the terrible second coming of our Lord and God Jesus Christ are remembered, so that by His grace and love for mankind we observe and save, bitter ordeals from demons, princes of the air, and eternal torment, and in Heavenly Let us worship the throne of God in the kingdom, gratefully and joyfully glorifying the Most Holy and Divine Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
