First-called Apostle of God and our Savior Jesus Christ, supreme follower of the Church, all-validated Andrew! We glorify and magnify your apostolic labors, we sweetly remember your blessed coming to us, we honor your honorable suffering, which you endured for Christ, we kiss the saints your relics, we honor your holy memory and believe that as the Lord lives, your soul also lives and remains with Him forever in heaven, even as you did not forsake us with your love, even as you loved us. Thou art our fathers, when by the Holy Spirit thou didst see the conversion of our earth to Christ. We believe that God also prayed for us; in His light all our needs are in vain. So we confess this faith in Your temple, and we pray to the Lord and God and our Savior Jesus Christ, that through your prayers He will give us (names) everything we need for our salvation sinners; Yes, just as you, according to the voice of the Lord, left your wastes, you unswervingly followed Him, and everyone from us does not seek his own, but also for the building of his neighbor, and for the things above let him think about the title. Having you as a representative and prayer book for us, we trust that your prayer can accomplish much before our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to Him belongs all glory, honor and worship with Father and Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

Oh, Saint Peter, great apostle, self-witness and companion of God, by the omnipotent right hand of your Teacher, received from the troubled waters and freed from the final drowning! Do not forget us poor ones (names), in the mire of sinful places and overwhelmed by the waves of the sea of life: give us your strong hand, help us and keep us from drowning in passions, lusts, lies and slander. Show us the mercy shown to you by the Lord, so that we do not give in to doubt and lack of faith. Teach us, our teacher, to shed tears of repentance, so that we weep bitterly for our deeds in this world. And if your tears, poured out in repentance, are covered by His mercy, your Lord and Teacher, ask for us, with apostolic boldness, forgiveness for our sins every hour. Let us live a quiet and silent life in this eternity until the hour when the Lord God, our impartial Judge, may call us. But you, O all-praised apostle, do not turn away our cry and groaning to you, but intercede for us before Christ, your Teacher, so that we may continually glorify His mercy towards us, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, in eyelids of centuries. Amen.
