Oh, great and wonderful servant of Christ, Holy Hierarch Father Ignatius! Mercifully accept our prayers offered to you with love and gratitude! Hear us, the orphan and helpless (names), who fall to you with faith and love and your warm intercession for us before the Throne of the Lord of Glory of those who ask. We know how much the prayer of the righteous can do, propitiating the Lord. From the years of infancy you have passionately loved the Lord and having desired to serve Him alone, you have counted all the beauty of this world for nothing. You denied yourself and, having taken up your cross, you followed Christ. You chose the narrow and regrettable path of monastic life for yourself, and on this path you acquired great virtues. With your writings, you filled the hearts of people with the deepest reverence and humility before the Almighty Creator, and sinners who fell with your wise words in the consciousness of their insignificance and their sinfulness, You instructed them to resort to God in repentance and humility, encouraging them with trust in His mercy. You rejected none of those who came to you, but you were a loving father and a good shepherd to all. And now do not leave us, who fervently pray to you and ask for your help and intercession. Ask our Humane-loving Lord for mental and physical health, confirm our faith, strengthen our strength, those who are exhausted in the temptations and sorrows of this age, warm the fire of prayer has cooled the hearts and, help us, who through repentance have cleansed the Christian death of this life, receive this life and enter into the palace of the Savior, adorned with all the chosen ones, and there with you worship the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
