O holy Apostles, intercede with the merciful God, that He grant unto our
souls forgiveness of offenses.
The truth of things hath revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith, an icon
of meekness and a teacher of temperance; therefore thou hast achieved the
heights by humility, riches by poverty. O Father and Hierarch Nicholas,
intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved.
Save, O Lord, Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; grant Thou unto
Orthodox Christians victory over enemies; and by the power of Thy Cross
do Thou preserve Thy commonwealth.
O God of our fathers, Who ever dealest by us according to Thy kindness, do
not withdraw Thy mercy from us, but through their intercessions guide our
life in peace.
Adorned in the blood of Thy martyrs throughout all the world, as in purple
and fine linen, Thy Church, through them, doth cry unto Thee, O Christ God:
Send down Thy compassions upon Thy people; grant to Thy community,
and to our souls great mercy.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
With the saints give rest, O Christ, to the souls of Thy servants, where there
is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting.
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Through the intercessions, O Lord, of all the saints and the Theotokos, grant
us Thy peace, and have mercy on us, as Thou alone art compassionate.
