Holy and glorious Great Martyr of Christ Demetrius, quick helper and warm intercessor of those who flow to you with faith! Standing boldly before the Heavenly King, ask Him for forgiveness of our sins, and to free us from the all-destroying plague, cowardice, flood, fire, sword and eternal punishment. Pray for His goodness to show mercy to this city, [this monastery] and every Christian country. Petition from the King of those reigning for victory and conquest of our pious emperor against his enemies, and for all his kingdom peace, silence, firmness in faith and advancement in piety: for us, who honor your honorable memory, ask for grace-filled strengthening for good deeds, so that what is pleasing to our Lord Christ God here, we may be worthy to inherit the Kingdom through your prayers Heavenly and there glorify Him, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
