Oh, great and most holy saint, Father Basil! Look down upon us from the heights of heaven, servant of God (names), and pray to the Lord, whose faithful servant you were on earth, to grant us the firm and unchanging preservation of the right faith, the Church of the Saints obedience, correction of our life and in all needs, sorrows and temptations, quick help, patience and strengthening. Give us your holy blessing, so that all the days of the fall we may live in peace and repentance, and in the Kingdom of Heaven we will be honored together with you and with all the saints as the Life-Giving One The Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, sing and glorify forever and ever. Amen.
