O great servant of Christ, our holy father Joasaph, quick helper and wondrous miracle worker! Look mercifully upon us who are ill. We, saints of Christ, we confess with our lips and hearts that through our deeds misfortune has befallen us. With the prudent thief we confess to the Lord that we accept that which is worthy in our deeds, and that we tolerate this evil like a servant. With these temporary torments, the merciful Lord crushes our pride and stiff-necked heart, so that we will avoid the eternal punishment prepared for the sinner: for we sow the seeds of a self-willed life, and we reap the thorns of sorrows. Both beings are weak, but having come to warm repentance, we dare to pray for this, so that the wrath of the Lord may be transferred to mercy, and we earnestly ask you, the saint of God and the miracle worker: pour out your warm prayer to Christ our Lord, stand before Him today and pray for those who honor you with love and humility on yours intercession by hope. Behold, in your life, O saint of Christ, you have not even scorned a single person who has grieved or asked for your mercy, or confessed your sins.
Pray to the righteous Judge, that he may turn the wrath of His righteousness into our mercy. By His grace given to you, O merciful saint, heal our infirmities, set us free from severe illnesses, put away death, and grant us strength to repent. Support old age, educate infants, keep youth chaste, establish marriages in purity and humility, grant us all hardworking obedience and a peaceful life through your prayer, so that we may persevere through the feat of this temporary life set before us, looking to the Author of the faith and Perfecter of the Lord Jesus, to Him be glory forever and ever.
