Share

great favorites of God and all-wondrous workers of miracles, right-believing Prince Peter and Princess Febronia, ye intercessors and protectors of the city of Murom, and fervent advocates before the Lord for us all! Unto you do we flee, and to you do we pray with steadfast hope: Offer up your holy prayers to the Lord God for us sinners, and of His goodness ask for us all good things needful for our souls and bodies: right faith, goodly hope, love unfeigned, unshakable piety, success in the doing of good deeds, peace for the world, fertility for the earth, seasonable weather, health of body and soul, and eternal salvation. Intercede before the King of heaven that He grant freedom to the land of Russia from its enemies, visible and invisible, and a restoration of the throne of Orthodox kings; that He hearken to the pain-filled cries of His faithful servants, who call out to Him day and night in agony and grief, that He lead our life up out of destruction. Entreat for the Holy Church and the whole realm of Russia: peace, tranquility and goodly order, and for all of us a successful life and a good Christian end. Defend our homeland, the city of Murom and all the cities of Russia, from all evil, and with the gracious efficacy of your right-acceptable prayers overshadow all the Orthodox people who have recourse to you and bow down before your relics, and fulfill all their petitions that lead toward what is good. Yea, O holy wonderworkers, disdain not our entreaties offered to you with compunction: be true intercessors for us before the Lord, and vouchsafe that, through your holy aid, we may receive eternal salvation and inherit the kingdom of heaven, that we may glorify the ineffable love for mankind of God — the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit — Who is worshiped in Trinity, unto the ages of ages. Amen.
