Prayer to Great Martyr Barbara




Holy Great Martyr Barbara, pray to God for us.

We pray to her not to die a sudden death without repentance and communion!

*********************************

Prayer to St. Barbara by St. John of Damascus


O Saint of Christ, and victorious Martyr Barbara, you dwell not only in the place of which you are the pride, and your grace of healing is not circumscribed, but you go throughout the whole world to those who approach you with fervent faith, and celebrate your yearly memory. They are healed from the wounds of sicknesses, and you bend down to the people of every age, and remove the indignant power of demons. For those in need have only to call upon your untiring help to be delivered from all dangers and trials. And for us who love and honor your care in faith, which commands honor, and who take refuge in your help and intercessions, become, O Champion Barbara, and victorious and ever-honored and ever-memorable, and most-famed Martyr, and Athlete of the Heavenly King who competed lawfully, a defender and champion for us in every trial, and a ceaseless intercessor towards the all-good Christ our God, together with His Beginningless and Unoriginate and worshiped Father, and the Consubstantial and Life-creating Spirit, to Whom belong glory, honor and worship, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
