Prayer to St. Blessed Xenia of Petersburg
O holy
all-blessed Mother Xenia! Having lived under the protection of the Most High,
having been guided and strengthened by the Mother of God, having endured hunger
and thirst, cold and heat, reproach and persecution, you have received from God
the gift of foresight and miracle-working and you rest under the shelter of the
Almighty. The Holy Church now glorifies you as a fragrant blossom. Praying
before your holy icon we ask you, as one who is alive and present with us: Do accept
our petitions and bring them up to the Throne of the merciful Heavenly Father,
as [one] having boldness before Him; Ask for eternal salvation for those who
come running unto you, compassionate blessing for our good deeds and
undertakings, and deliverance from all misfortunes and sorrows; Stand before
our All-Merciful Savior with your holy supplications for us, unworthy and
sinners. O holy and blessed Mother Xenia, help our children to receive
illumination by the light of holy baptism and the seal of the gift of the Holy
Spirit; [help] Raise our boys and girls in faith, honesty, instill fear of God
and grant them success in their learning; Heal the sick and ailing; Send down
love and concord upon families; Account monastics worthy to struggle in good
deeds and protect them from reproach; Make our the pastors steadfast in the might
of the Holy Spirit; preserve the Orthodox faithful and this earth in peace and
tranquility; and Pray for those deprived of the Holy Mysteries of Christ at the
hour of death. You are our hope and trust, speedily hearkening to us and
delivering us, and unto you we give thanks and with you we do glorify the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
Amen.
