Prayer to St. Sava

O most honorable and sacred head! O citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem, Most Holy Trinity abode, Venerable Father Savo! Having great boldness towards the All-merciful Master, pray for the flock of your fence and for all your children according to the spirit. Do not be silent for our love for the Lord, and do not despise those who honor you through faith and love. Through your intercession with the King of Kings, ask the peace of the Church, which is militant under the sign of the cross, and the Bishop of your holiness, for the beauty of the Church, and for the good of the monks in their labors; for the protection of this most holy monastery, this city, and all the cities and countries; for the peace of the world, and for the deliverance of gladness and destruction; for the old and infirm, consolation and strength; for the young and infants, good in the faith growth, firm teaching in the Gospel, and abiding in purity and chastity; mercy and intercession for widows and orphans, joy and return to the captives, healing for the sick, comfort for the faint-hearted, correction for those who err, a spirit of contrition for those who sin, and help in time for those in distress. Do not put to shame us who come to you in faith, but help us, as a father who loves children, to bear the yoke of Christ in complacency and patience, and guide all in peace and repentance to end their lives without shame and to be made whole with hope in the heavenly abode. Wherefore, after thy labors and labors, thou art now established with the Angels and Saints, glorifying God in vain, and glorifying Him in the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
