(Prayer of Jeremiah the Hermit)
Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon! Pray to God for us and do not allow those illnesses that hurt us in soul and body to remain in us any longer! Heal those ulcers and scabs that were caused to us by our passions. We suffer from laziness and relaxation - we are healed. We are sick with attraction and addiction to earthly objects - we are healed. We are sick, O Saint Panteleimon! We suffer from forgetfulness: about the matter of salvation, about our sins and weaknesses, about our responsibilities - we are healed. We are sick with resentment, anger, hatred - heal, O healer of St. Athos and the world. We are sick with envy, pride, arrogance, exaltation, despite all the poverty and wantonness - we are healed. We suffer from many and different attacks of carnality: gluttony, intemperance, gluttony, voluptuousness - we are healed. We are sick with drowsiness, verbosity, idle talk, judgmentalism - we are healed, O Saint Panteleimon!
Our eyes hurt from sinful views, our ears hurt from listening to idle talk, slander, slander - we are healed. My hands hurt due to a reluctance to perform prayers and give alms - they are healed. Our legs hurt from the reluctance to hastily go to the church of the Lord and from the desire to walk around the hills and visit the houses of the world - to be healed. Our tongue and our lips hurt, our lips hurt: with idle talk, idle talk, slander, turning away from prayers and hymns, or pronouncing them carelessly, absent-mindedly, without attention, without understanding - We are healed, oh mercy!
We hurt from head to toe: our minds hurt with incomprehensibility, unreasonableness and madness; our will hurts, turning away from holy pursuits and striving for deeds that are harmful and repugnant to God; Our memory hurts, forgetting our sins and constantly containing within itself the sins and insults of our neighbors; Our imagination hurts, unable and unwilling to vividly imagine to us our death, the eternal torment of sinners, the blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven, God’s wrath, Christ’s suffering on the cross, His crucifixion - heal us, O Saint Panteleimon! Everything in us hurts. Our entire soul, with all its strengths and abilities, is also weak. Our whole body with all its members is also weak.
Heal us, O Saint Panteleimon, Healer, merciless and loving Healer, servant of the Most Holy Theotokos, and do not forsake our damnation in many ailments and in many infirmities: yes Having been healed by your grace, I will glorify the Most Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and the Most Holy Theotokos, who sends you to serve the sick, and I will thank you, O Saint Panteleimon, a celibate shrine forever. Amen.
To you, saints without mercenary and miracle workers Cosmos and Damian, as to a quick helper and a warm prayer book for our salvation, we, unworthy, bend the knee, and, falling, We earnestly cry out: do not despise the prayers of us, sinners, weak ones, who have fallen into many iniquities and are sinning all the days and hours. Pray to the Lord to grant us, His unworthy servants, His great and rich mercy; Deliver us from all sorrow and illness, for you have naturally received from the Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ the endless grace of healing, for the sake of firm faith, free healing and your martyrdom. Hear us praying, and through your favorable intercession ask Christ God for the Orthodox people to win and overcome their enemies.
Once again, we diligently pray: ask us from the Lord for all that is beneficial, even in our temporary belly, especially serving for eternal salvation, so that we may be rewarded with your prayers May we achieve a Christian death that is painless, shameless, peaceful, and may we get rid of the wiles of the devil and eternal torment, the endless and blessed Kingdom of Heaven, the heir we will. To her, pleasers of God, do not stop praying for us, who flow to you with faith. If, due to the multitude of our sins, we are not worthy of your mercy, both of you, faithful imitators of God’s love for mankind, create, so that we may bear fruits worthy of repentance and into eternity We will achieve peace by praising and blessing the wondrous Lord and God and our Savior Jesus Christ and His Most Pure Mother in His saints, and your warm intercession, always, now, and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Oh, Most Pure Lady Theotokos, God-loving Mother, hope of our salvation! Look mercifully at those who are coming with faith and love and worshiping Your most pure image, accept our song of praise and pour out Your warm prayer for us, sinners, to May the Lord, having despised all our sins, save and have mercy on us. O Precious Lady! show us Your wonderful mercies: deliver us from all sorrow, guide us on the path of all virtues and goodness, save us from temptations, troubles and illnesses, remove slander and quarrels from us, save us from lightning thunder, from the burning of fire, from famine, cowardice, flood and deadly ulcers, give us Your merciful help on the way, in the sea and on land, so that we do not perish fierce. O All-Merciful God-loving Mother, with firm hope we send our poor prayer to You!
Do not deny our tears and sighs, do not forget us all the days of our lives, but always remain with us and through your intercession and intercession with the Lord, give us joy, consolation, protection and help, may we We glorify and magnify Your most blessed and all-sung name. Amen.
Oh, Most Holy Lady Theotokos! With fear, faith and love, falling before Thy honest icon, we pray to Thee: do not turn away Thy face from those who come running to You, pray, Merciful Mother, Thy Son and God May our Lord Jesus Christ keep our country peaceful, and may He preserve His holy, unshakable Church from unbelief, heresies and schism. There are no other help, no other hope, except You, Most Pure Virgin: You are the all-powerful Helper and Intercessor of Christians.
Deliver also all those who pray to You with faith from the falls of sin, from the slander of evil people, from all temptations, sorrows, illnesses, troubles and from sudden death; Grant us the spirit of contrition, humility of heart, purity of thoughts, correction of sinful life and remission of sins, and all, gratefully chanting Your greatness and mercy, which appear over by us here on earth, we will be worthy of the Heavenly Kingdom and there, with all the saints, we will glorify the most honorable and magnificent name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Zealous intercessor, Compassionate Mother of the Lord, I resort to You, the accursed and most sinful man above all, hear the voice of my prayer, hear my cry and groans, like iniquity mine has exceeded my head, and I, like a ship in the depths, am plunging into the sea of my sins. But You, All-Good and Merciful Lady, do not despise me, desperate and perishing in sins; have mercy on me, who repent of my evil deeds, and turn my lost, damned soul to the right path. On You, my Lady Theotokos, I place all my hope. Thou, Mother of God, preserve and keep me under Thy roof, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Oh, All-merciful and venerable Mother of God Pantanassa, the All-Tsarina! I am not worthy, but come under my roof! But as a merciful and gracious Mother of God, speak the word, may my soul be healed and my weak body strengthened. Imashi for the power is invincible and every word will not be exhausted from you, O All-Queen! You beg for me, You beg for me, that I may glorify Your glorious name always, now and forever. Amen.
Oh, Most Pure Mother of God, All-Tsarina! Hear our much-painful sigh before your miraculous icon, brought from the inheritance of Athos to Russia, look upon your children, the incurable ailments of the afflicted and to the holy those who fall in faith to Your image! Just like the winged bird covers its chicks, so You, now an ever-living being, cover us with Your multi-healing omophorion. There, where hope disappears, have undoubted hope. There, where fierce tribulations prevail, appear with patience and weakness. There, where the darkness of despair has settled in the soul, let the ineffable light of the Divine shine! Comfort the faint-hearted, strengthen the weak, grant softening and enlightenment to hardened hearts. Heal Your sick people, O all-merciful Queen! Bless the minds and hands of those who heal us, may they serve as an instrument of the all-powerful Physician Christ our Savior. As You live with us, we pray before Your icon, O Lady!
Extend Your hand, filled with healing and healing, Joy to those who mourn, in sorrow, Consolation, and having soon received miraculous help, we glorify the Life-Giving and Indivisible Trinity, the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Accept, O All-Blessed and All-Powerful Lady the Virgin Mary, these prayers, now brought to You with tears from us, Your unworthy servants, to Your celibate in the image of the singing of those who send out with tenderness, as You yourself are here and hearken to our prayer. You fulfill every request, alleviate sorrow, give health to the weak, heal the weakened and sick, drive away demons from demons, and drive away those who are offended by insults. you deliver, you cleanse lepers, and you have mercy on little children; also, Lady Lady Theotokos, you free from bonds and prisons and heal all manifold passions: for all things are possible through Your intercession to Your Son, Christ God ours. Oh, All-Singing Mother, Most Holy Theotokos!
Do not cease to pray for us, Your unworthy servants, who glorify You and honor You, and who worship Your Most Pure Image with tenderness, and who have irrevocable hope and faith I have no doubt towards You, Ever-Virgin, Most Glorious and Immaculate, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Oh, Most Holy Virgin, Mother of the Lord of the highest powers, Heaven and earth Queen, our city and country, Almighty Intercessor! Accept this laudatory song of thanksgiving from us, Thy unworthy servants, and lift up our prayers to the Throne of God Thy Son, that He may be merciful to our unrighteousness, and may He add grace Those who honor Your all-honorable name and worship Your miraculous image with faith and love. For we are not worthy of mercy from Him, unless You propitiate Him for us, O Lady, for all things are possible for You from Him.
For this reason we resort to You, as to our undoubted and speedy Intercessor: hear us praying to You, overshadow us with Your all-powerful protection, and ask God Your Son: our shepherd is zeal and vigilance for souls, the ruler of wisdom and strength, the judge of truth and impartiality, the mentor of reason and humility, the husband of love and harmony, the child obedience, patience to those who are offended, fear of God to those who are offended, complacency to those who mourn, self-control to those who rejoice; to all of us the spirit of reason and piety, the spirit of mercy and meekness, the spirit of purity and truth.
To her, Most Holy Lady, have mercy on Your weak people; Gather the scattered, guide those who have gone astray on the right path, support old age, bring up young chastity, raise children, and look upon us all with the gaze of your merciful intercession, raise us up from the depths sinful and enlighten the eyes of our hearts to the sight of salvation, be merciful to us here and there, in the land of earthly arrival and at the terrible judgment of Your Son; Having ceased in faith and repentance from this life, our fathers and brothers created eternal life with the Angels and with all the saints. For you are, Lady, the Glory of Heaven and the Hope of the earth, You, according to God, are our Hope and Intercessor of all who flow to You with faith.
