Oh, our good shepherd and God-wise mentor, Saint Nicholas of Christ! Hear us sinners (names), praying to you and calling for your quick intercession for help: see us weak, caught from everywhere, deprived of every good and in our minds from cowardice darkened.
Try, O saint of God, do not leave us in sinful captivity to be, so that we may not joyfully be our enemies and not die in our evil deeds. Pray for us, unworthy of our Creator and Master, to whom you stand with the disembodied faces: show mercy to us our God in this life and in the world to come, so that He will not repay us according to our deeds and the impurity of our hearts, but according to His goodness He will reward us.
We trust in your intercession, we boast of your intercession, we call upon your intercession for help, and we approach your most holy image for help: deliver us, saint of Christ, from the evils that come upon us, so that for the sake of your holy prayers the attack will not overwhelm us and we will not sink into the abyss of sin and in the mud of our passions.
Pray to St. Nicholas of Christ, Christ our God, that He will grant us a peaceful life and remission of sins, and may salvation and great mercy be given to our souls, now and ever and unto the ages centuries.
