O great servant of God and God-accepting Simeon! Look at me, a sinner, falling to your holy icon and asking for your intercession and help. Sorrow will keep me from the troubles and evils that now exist, and there is no consolation for my much-ill soul. I am looking for help from people, and will not find it. I cried out to the Lord and did not hear me, because I angered His most pure goodness with my iniquities, and with the multitude of my many sins, I bitterly grieved His gracious, humane womb. And who will help us now? Who will assuage my sorrow? Who will give consolation and tranquility to my much-rebellious soul? To you, great servant of God, I come running, sinful and unworthy, knowing that you have great boldness in Christ God and that you are a powerful representative for all who come to you with faith and demand your intercession and help.
Pray to the Lord, a lover of mankind, that having forgiven me my countless sins, He will not turn His mercy away from me, but as He is good and compassionate, He will show me His endless mercy, and in the worst of my misfortunes and misfortunes, I will give me His omnipotent help, and He will give peace, strengthening, consolation and tranquility to my most distressed soul. Hey, great servant of God! Lift up your God-bearing hands to those who will be carried in your arms by the will of Christ our God, and pray to His goodness, may He not reject the prayer of my heart, unworthiness for my sake, but may He show me His mercy in good time, for the glory of His endless bounties and your many-powerful intercession, for him Due to Him is all glory and thanksgiving, together with the Father and His Most Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
