O all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly servant of the Lord, our warm intercessor and quick helper everywhere in troubles! Help me, a sinner and sad person, in this present life: beg the Lord God to grant me forgiveness of all my sins, great sins from my youth, in all my life, in deed, word, thought and all my feelings, and in the departure of my soul help the accursed one, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment: may I always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever and forever centuries.
