Prayer to the Martyr Vitus of Rome

O holy servant of God, martyr Vitya! Having fought a good fight on earth, you have perceived in heaven the crown of righteousness, which the Lord has prepared for all those who love Him. Thus beholding your holy image, we rejoice in the glorious end of your dwelling place and honor your holy memory. But you, standing before the Throne of God, accept our supplications and offer them to the All-merciful God, that He may forgive us every sin and help us against the machinations of the devil, so that we may be delivered from sorrows, diseases, troubles and misfortunes, and all evil, so that we may live piously and justly in the present world and be worthy of your intercession, even if we are not worthy See the good one in the land of the living, praising the Only One in Your saints, the glorified God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and to the ages of ages. Amen.
