Oh, great and most holy saint Father Basil, glorious teacher of the universal Church, all-zealous champion of the glory of the Most Holy Trinity, Mother of God and Her most immaculate virginity pre-chosen confessor, most luminous of purity, humility and patience. Since I am a great sinner and unworthy to look up to the heavenly heights, I humbly pray to you, O wise teacher of the Church of Christ, teach me to conduct my life in such a God-fearing way, and never on the path of God the command is contrary, I will evade or be seduced. Protect and deliver me through your powerful intercession from the temptations of the world and the snares of the devil, just as you delivered the young man from them, who had retreated from our Sweetest Savior and into the power of Satan. fallen.
Grant me spiritual strength to diligently be an imitator of your lofty virtues: make me right in faith, firm and unshakable, strengthen the faint-hearted me in patience and trust in the Lord, kindle in my heart the true love of Christ, so that I desire heavenly blessings more than all others and enjoy them. Ask the Lord for my sincere contrition for my sins, so that I will spend the rest of my life in peace, repentance and fulfillment of the commandments of Christ. When the hour of my death approaches, you, O blessed Father, with the Blessed Virgin Mary, then hasten to help, protect me from the evil slander of the enemy, and grant me an heir to be heavenly villages, and together with you and with all the saints of the unapproachable Majesty of God I will present the Throne and the Life-Giving, Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity I glorify and sing everlastingly and to endless ages. Amen.
