• Prayer O luminaries of the Church of Christ, Basil, Gregory, and John, who with the light of Orthodox dogmas have illumined all the ends of the earth, and with the sword of the word of God have quenched the confusion and vacillation of heresies! Humbled by your mercy, we cry out in faith and love from the depths of our souls: Standing before the Throne of the Most Holy, One Being, Life-Giving, and Inseparable Trinity, for Whom in word, in writing, and in life you have done good works, and in whom you have laid down your lives, pray always to Her, that She may strengthen us also in Orthodoxy and uniform understanding, and in unshaken confession of the faith of Christ even unto death, and in the wholehearted obedience of His Holiest Church; May He empower us from on high against all our enemies, invisible and visible; may He keep His Church immutable from unbelief, superstition, heresy and schism; and may He grant our people long life and good haste in all things; Grant to our shepherds spiritual watchfulness and zeal for the salvation of their flock; to rulers judgment and truth, to soldiers patience, courage and victory over enemies, to the bereaved and widows intercession, to the afflicted healing, to the young growing up in the faith, to elders comforting, To the afflicted and to all that are needed for temporal and eternal life, so that in peace and repentance, burning with the desire for salvation, working with the Lord, and ascending to good exploits, we may end our course and be granted to sing and praise with you always in the Kingdom of Heaven. and health
