Supplication to the Holy Virgins — it helps the sick, the needy and the suffering, protects peace, averts bloody wars, including those of a religious character, and strife between nations, and helps in creating and strengthening a happy family

O holy martyrs Minodora, Metrodora and Nymphodora, pearls of faith and purity, who endured dread torments for Christ, who counted your youth as nothing and astonished the merciless torturers by your steadfastness: to you, sisters filled with love, I, the servant of God (name), fall down in humility: entreat our Lord Jesus Christ, in war and in time of peace, to preserve my neighbour and me also, a sinner, by His ineffable grace; to deliver us from the foul demons, from cruel death and incurable wounds, from hail, flood, disease and shameful captivity. O much-suffering virgins, by your prayers may the merciful Lord shelter our fathers and mothers, wives and children, and all my neighbours from sorrows and woes; may He send upon them humility and patience, and ever warm their love for us; may He grant them constant, fervent prayer for our safe return home. O righteous God, deliver us from iniquities and transgressions, voluntary and involuntary. Help us worthily to fulfil our duty — to fence our fatherland about from evil. Grant us strength to bring to men righteousness, peace and love. To Thee, O Lord, our Deliverer and Receiver, we send up glory, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
