Hear us, sinners and useless ones (names), at this hour standing before your holy icon and diligently resorting to your intercession. Pray for us, the Lover of Mankind, that He may give us the spirit of repentance and contrition for our sins and with His all-powerful grace, may He help us leave the paths of wickedness and succeed in everything de blaze; may he strengthen us in the fight against our passions and lusts; May he implant in our hearts the spirit of humility and meekness, the spirit of brotherly love and kindness, the spirit of patience and chastity, the spirit of zeal for the glory of God and the salvation of our neighbors. With your prayers, prophet, abolish the evil customs of the world, and especially the destructive and corrupting spirit of this age, infecting the Christian race with disrespect for the Divine Orthodoxy faith, to the charter of the Holy Church and to the commandments of the Lord, disrespect for parents and authorities, and casting people into the abyss of wickedness, corruption and destruction. Turn away from us, most wonderfully prophesied, by your intercession the righteous wrath of God and deliver all the cities and towns of our Fatherland from rainlessness and famine, from terrible storms and earthquakes, from deadly ulcers and diseases, from the invasion of enemies and internecine warfare. Strengthen with your prayers, most glorious, those who hold our power in the great and arduous labor of government, prosper them in all their good deeds and undertakings for the establishment of peace and truth in the country ours. Help the Christ-loving army in battles with our enemies. Ask, prophet of God, from the Lord for our shepherds holy zeal for God, heartfelt concern for the salvation of the flock, wisdom in teaching and government, piety and strength in temptations, Ask the judges for impartiality and selflessness, righteousness and compassion for the offended, for all those in authority to take care of their subordinates, mercy and justice, for the subordinates to submit humility and obedience to the authorities and diligent performance of one's duties; so that having lived in peace and piety in this world, we will be worthy to partake of eternal blessings in the Kingdom of the Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ, to whom honor and worship are due His beginningless Father and the Most Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

Move even now the hearts of the faithful to intercede for the orphans, comfort the sorrowing and reassure the poor. May the gifts of mercy not fail in them, and moreover, may there be joy in them (and in this house, which watches over the suffering), peace and joy in the Holy Spirit - to the glory of the Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ, forever and ever. Amen.
