Having loved the poverty of Christ,/ now enjoying immortal meals,/ having exposed the madness of the world through imaginary madness,/ through humility on the cross you have received the power of God./ For this reason, you have acquired the gift of miraculous help, / Blessed Xenia, pray to Christ God // to deliver us from all evil through repentance.
Having been on earth as a stranger,/ sighing for the Heavenly Fatherland,/ a fool from the riotous and infidels,/ being known to be wise and holy from the faithful,/ and from God with glory and honor You are getting married, / Ksenia, courageous and godly, / for this reason we call you: Rejoice, for after your journey on earth you are at home with the Father.
Oh, holy all-blessed mother Ksenia! She lived under the protection of the Most High, guided and strengthened by the Mother of God, hunger and thirst, cold and heat, endured reproaches and persecutions, and received the gift of clairvoyance and miracles from God and under the shade May the Almighty rest in peace. Now the Holy Church, like a fragrant flower, glorifies you.
Standing at the place of your burial, before your holy image, as if you are alive and are with us, we pray to you: accept our petitions and bring them to the Throne of the Merciful Father in Heaven, as she has boldness towards Him. Ask for eternal salvation for those who flow to you, for our generous blessings for good deeds and undertakings, for deliverance from all troubles and sorrows. Stand before our All-Merciful Savior with your holy prayers for us, unworthy and sinners.
Help, Holy Blessed Mother Xenia, illuminate the infants with the light of Holy Baptism and seal the gift of the Holy Spirit, boys and girls in faith, honesty, fear of God and to cultivate chastity and grant them success in learning; Heal the sick and ailing, send love and harmony to families, be worthy to strive for good as a monk and be protected from reproach, shepherds in the fortress of the Holy Spirit establish, preserve our people and country in peace and serenity, pray for those deprived of communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ at the hour of death.
For you are our hope and hope, quick hearing and deliverance, we send thanks to you and with you we glorify the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages centuries. Amen.
Oh, our glorious holy blessed mother Xenia, warm for us before God in the prayer book! As before we fell to your tombstone, now, after your glorification, we resort to your relics, we ask: pray to the Lord, that He may sanctify our souls and bodies, and enlighten mind, cleanses the conscience from all filthiness, unclean thoughts, evil and blasphemous thoughts and from all exaltation, pride and arrogance, arrogance and insolence, from all Pharisee hypocrisy, and from all our cold and evil customs; May He grant us sincere repentance, contrition of our hearts, humility, meekness and quietness, reverence, and spiritual understanding with all prudence and gratitude.
Hidden from the wise of this age, but known to God, ask our Russian country for deliverance from severe troubles, renewal and correction of all our lives, keep us in all piety Orthodox confession of the Christian faith, so that we may be worthy to praise you all the days, to give thanks and glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity Consubstantial, Life-Giving and Undivided forever and ever. Amen.
Oh, holy saint of God, blessed Ksenia! Look mercifully with your eye on us, servant of God (names), tenderly praying to your honorable icon and asking you for help and intercession. Extend your warm prayers to the Lord our God and ask for forgiveness of sins for our souls. Behold, with a contrite heart and a humble spirit, we call upon you a merciful intercessor to the Lady and a prayer book for us sinners, as you have received from Him the grace to pray for us and from troubles deliver.
We therefore ask you, do not despise us, unworthy, who pray to you and demand your help, and intercede for everyone everything that is useful for salvation, as through your prayers to the Lord God you have received grace and mercy Let us glorify all the good, the Source and Gift-Giver and the One God, in the Trinity of Saints, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
