O wondrous one among the sufferers, holy, faithful, great Prince Michael! You led your struggles and labors, even for the orthodoxy, for the Church of God and for your Fatherland, the city of Tfer. Having desired the highest, you left the corruptible glory of the earth, and being jealous of the ascetic of Christ, you valiantly resisted the wrath of the wicked king and the rebuke of his evil commander. You, having received unrighteous condemnation and slaughter, have accepted the Kingdom of Heaven, and with drops of blood, like a wonderful stone, having adorned a crown on your head, now in heaven you stand before the throne of all the Lords with the faces of the Angel and with all the saints. For this reason, flowing to the race of your relics, we kiss our hearts and lips, and tenderly cry out to you: about the namesake of the heavenly commander of the highest powers, Grand Duke Michael! Pray unceasingly to Christ God for your city and people and for all Orthodox Christians.
Be a strong supporter of the enemies of Orthodoxy to our most pious, autocratic, great sovereign, Emperor Nicholas Alexandrovich of all Russia and the entire reigning house: ask them through your intercession for peace, health, longevity and prosperity in all things. Be a helper for us to accept everything that is for our salvation and benefit: protect us from temptations and misfortunes that come in temporary life, and do not deprive us of your intercession to Christ God, so that we may receive forgiveness for our sins and be considered worthy of the heavenly settlement with His chosen ones, for in this we are glorified His most honorable and magnificent name forever and ever.
