The Most High God, the Eternal God, the Immortal God, whose kingdom is great and strong, whose power is endless, His mercy from generation to generation, even without leaving from Your people, Abraham for the sake of Your beloved, and Isaac Your servant, and Your holy Israel, and all Your righteous saints chosen from the creation of the world! I, this earth and ashes, call on all of these to beseech you, the Most Merciful Master, so that for their sake I may receive your mercy, for the salvation of my damned soul. And if the prayer of one righteous person can do much, how much more can the prayer of the darkness of the righteous of all Your saints, the throne of Your majesty surrounding them, do much: for Your eyes, O Lord, are on the righteous, and Your ears are on their prayer. To them I cry out:
About the holiness and praise of the patriarchs, who by faith pleased God and all the faithful fathers! Truly blessed and blessed are you, as you sit at the table of a blessed dinner in the Kingdom of God. But I, believing in God, I pray you, like fathers: please me, like your child, to receive from the grains that fall from your meal.
Holy great prophets! You all prophesied, having understood in part, and you have seen Christ the Lord as in a mirror and in fortune-telling, but now you understand Him completely and see Him face to face. Pray, and even though I am a sinner, understanding a part of Him here, I will be worthy to see Him there with you as He is.
Holy apostles of Christ! You are vessels, in honor of sanctification and favor to the Lady, prepared for every good work, abundantly filled with the grace of God. I pray that from your fulfillment I will also be worthy of acceptance. Holy praises of the martyr of the Lord! All of you are blessed; having endured temptation, having been tempted, you have received the crown of life. Help me too, a sinner, so that I may be complete and complete in patience and lacking in nothing, and may the temptation of my faith in various adversities turn into praise and honor and glory in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Holy Hierarchs, shepherds, residents and teachers! You are all the light of the world and lamps, set on the candlestick in the church on high, not made with hands. You will illuminate me, so that I may correct my steps to do the commandments of the Lord, and may my path not be dark and creeping, but may I be guided on the right path, leading me into the habitable city.
Holy reverend fathers, who have accomplished your good works for the sake of Christ the Lord, who have labored since your youth! All of you have accepted the perfect reward of your labors, and through your laborious gratification, even the accursed one, even if he came at the one-tenth hour, will be honored to receive a penalty from the Most Good Lover of Mankind. Holy virgins, betrothed to the One Bridegroom, Christ! All of you have gone to the palace of heaven with the wise virgins. Pray for me too, who is unworthy, for even I will not be deprived of the heavenly palace.
Holy hermits [hermits], fasting women [fasters], confessors [confessors], miracle workers and all every order of righteous women [righteous men], who were named and killed for the great multitude of the stars of heaven, it is impossible to eat, except for God Himself, who counts the multitude of stars, in whom your names were written in the book of life from the addition peace! I am weak in your help, and from you there are many communions, I humbly dare to confess and call on you: pray to our Savior, that He will grant to me, more than any man on earth who is a sinner, to seek the highest, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God the Father.
As for the rest, what is true, what is honest, what is righteous, what is most pure, what is most lovable, what is goodly praised, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, let us ask for all this from the Merciful God, the Lover of Mankind, who fulfills all things. Your petitions, as I am grateful and unworthy not only in this time, but also in the endless future, I will be deemed worthy to sing from your faces the wisdom and glory and honor and power and strength of our God, the One Almighty, forever and ever.
