Oh, great saint of Christ, our holy father Hermogenes! To you, a warm man of prayer and a shameless representative before God, we diligently flock to you, asking for consolation and help in our needs and sorrows.
In the ancient time of temptation, when our country was suddenly attacked by wickedness, the Lord revealed you to His Church as an unshakable pillar and to the Russian people a shepherd of goodness, She laid down her soul for the sheep and drove away the fierce wolves. Now look also upon us, your unworthy children (names), who call upon you with a tender soul and a contrite heart. For our strength within us has become impoverished, and the enemy’s trappings and nets have devastated us.
Help us, our intercessor! Confirm us in the holy faith: teach us to always keep the commandments of God and all the church traditions commanded to us from our father. Be our shepherd, the archpastor, the spiritual leader of the warrior, the sick doctor, the comforter of the sad, the persecuted intercessor, the youth's mentor, a compassionate father to all and for all warmth prayer book, because by your prayers we protect you, let us unceasingly sing and glorify the all-holy name of the Life-Giving Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen!
