The holy, glorious and all-praiseworthy Apostle of Christ Simon, who was deemed worthy to receive into your house in Cana of Galilee our Lord Jesus Christ and His Most Pure Mother, our Lady Theotokos, and to be an eyewitness to the glorious miracle of Christ, which appeared on your brother, turning water into wine! We pray to you with faith and love: beg Christ the Lord to transform our souls from sin-loving to God-loving; save us and keep us with your prayers from the temptations of the devil and the falls of sin, and ask us for help from above in times of despondency and helplessness; Let us not stumble over the stone of temptation, but let us steadily march along the saving path of the commandments of Christ, until we reach those blessed abode of paradise, where you are now located and have fun. Hey, Apostle of Saviours!
Do not disgrace us, who firmly trust in you, but be our helper and protector in all our lives and help us to end this temporary life in a pious and godly manner, good and peaceful receive a Christian death and receive a good answer at the Last Judgment of Christ; so that, having escaped the ordeals of the air and the power of the fierce ruler of the world, we will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven and glorify the magnificent name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
