Prayer to Saint Laurentius, Holy Fool for Christ’s Sake, Miracle Worker of Kaluga

O holy and God-glorified Saint and wonderworker Laurentius, quick helper and fervent intercessor of all who come to you prayerfully with faith and love! Behold, we also, humble and sinful, burdened with the heavy yoke of our many iniquities, run to you with deep emotion, and falling down to the many-healing ration of your holy relics, we beseech you: pray to the Lord God for us, that he may not destroy us with our iniquities, but turn us to the path of repentance and salvation. Vemy bo, vemy, for the prayer of the righteous can do much before Him. But to You, truly, we offer a righteous person to make supplication to Him with strong hope, because for your heavenly intercession before Him, we will also be unworthy of mercy. Ask us of our Creator the great and rich gifts of His goodness: the fruitfulness of the earth, the prosperity of the air, the timely rains, peace in our days, the multiplication of piety, health for the sick, consolation for the sorrowful, encouragement for the despondent, charity for the poor, prosperity for the struggling, a good Christian end for the dying, and eternal salvation for all believers. Keep the God-protected land of Russia safe from all evil by your prayers, and keep your city in peace and prosperity, as their constant guardian and guardian. To her, God’s servant! Do not put to shame our hope, but show us your holy intercession: that we may magnify you unceasingly, as our great representative, and glorify the ineffable love for mankind of the wondrous Triune God in Our saints, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to the ages of ages. Amen.
