Oh, wonderful servant of God, Father Silouan! By the grace given to you by God, to pray tearfully for the entire universe - the dead, the living and the coming - do not keep silent for us to the Lord, who fervently come to you and tenderly ask for your intercession (names). Move, O all-blessed One, to prayer the Zealous Intercessor of the Christian race, the Most Blessed Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary, who miraculously called you to be a faithful worker in Her earthly heliport, where God’s chosen one beseeches God for our sins, the merciful and long-suffering being of God, not to remember our untruths and iniquities, but for his ineffable goodness Our Lord Jesus Christ will spare us and save us according to His great mercy. To her, saint of God, with the Most Blessed Lady of the world - the Most Holy Abbess of Athos and the holy ascetics of Her earthly lot, ask the saints for the Most Holy Word of the Holy Woe to Athos and its God-loving desert dwellers will be preserved in the world from all the troubles and slander of the enemy.
Yes, the Angels deliver the saints from evils and are strengthened by the Holy Spirit in faith and brotherly love, until the end of the age about the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, creating prayers and saving for all They show the way, so that the earthly and heavenly Church may continually glorify the Creator and Father of Lights, enlightening and sanctifying the world in the eternal truth and goodness of God. Ask the peoples of the entire earth for a prosperous and peaceful life, the spirit of humility and brotherly love, good morals and salvation, the spirit of the fear of God. Let it not be malice and lawlessness that harden the hearts of men, which can destroy the love of God in men and cast them into hostility and fratricide, but in the power of Divine love and righteousness, as in Heaven and on earth, hallowed be the name of God, may His holy will be done among men, and may peace and the Kingdom of God reign on earth.
So also for your earthly Fatherland - the Russian lands, ask, saint of God, the longed-for peace and heavenly blessing, in the same way, with the all-powerful omophorion of the Mother of God covered, may he be delivered from famine, destruction, cowardice, fire, sword, invasion of foreigners and internecine warfare, and from all enemies, visible and invisible, and thus by the most holy house of the Blessed Virgin Mary until the end of the age the Life-giving Cross will remain in him by the power and love of God; the inexhaustible one will be established. For all of us, who are immersed in the darkness of sins and warmth of repentance, who have no lower fear of God and who constantly insult the Lord who loves us immeasurably, ask, O all-blessed one, from our All-Bountiful God, May He, with His omnipotent divine grace, visit and revive our souls, and may He abolish all malice and worldly pride, despondency and negligence in our hearts.
We also pray for us, strengthened by the grace of the All-Holy Spirit and warmed by the love of God, in love for mankind and brotherly love, humility and prayerful crucification for each other and for everyone, in the righteousness of God will be established and in the grace-filled love of God will be strengthened in good manners, and the love of sons will come closer to Him. Yes, so, doing His all-holy will, in all piety and purity of temporary life, let us walk the path shamelessly and with all the saints of the Heavenly Kingdom and His Lamb marriage. To Him from all those on earth and in Heaven be glory, honor and worship, with His Beginning Father, the Most Holy and Good, and His Life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
