Prayer to the Three Holy Fathers and Great Archbishops – Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom

O all‑blessed Holy Fathers—Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom! Hear us, imperfect and sinful ones, who pray to the Lord through your intercession, and bring our prayer before the merciful and man‑loving God, before whom you stand today in the joy of the saints and with the choirs of angels. Obtain for us His love of mankind, that He may not judge but forgive our transgressions and sins, and may act toward us according to our petitions and by His mercy and goodness. Obtain for us, in Christ our God, a peaceful and tranquil life, spiritual and bodily health, fertility of the earth, and in all things every sufficiency and prosperity, and that the gifts bestowed by the generous God may not turn to our detriment but to His glory and to the glorification of your intercession.

May—through this intercession—by His all‑goodness and grace the Lord grant us, according to God’s will, to pass the path of earthly life; may He deliver us from airy hardships and, by His Holy Spirit, guide and lead us on the road that leads to the dwellings of the righteous, where the unceasing voice of those who triumph and the endless delight of those who behold the unspeakable goodness of God’s face resound. May He preserve His holy Church from schisms and heresies and, ultimately, restore its original universal unity and wholeness, strengthen the faithful, turn back the wayward, and give to all that which is needed for salvation and the glory of God; may He grant us all your archpastoral and holy blessing, that being protected by it we may be delivered from every trouble and affliction. Hear our prayers, holy Fathers of Christ, and pray unceasingly for us to the Almighty God, who is praised and worshiped in the three Persons, and to whom belongs all glory, honor, and power forever and ever. Amen.
