Prayer for the Health of a Child to the Righteous Simeon the God‑bearer

O great intercessor of God, Simeon the God‑bearer! Standing before the throne of the great King and our God Jesus Christ, you have boldness before Him, for He, for our salvation, has permitted Himself to lie upon your hands. To you, as a powerful advocate and intercessor for us, I flee, sinful and unworthy. Pray to the All‑good God that He may turn away His wrath, have mercy on us, heal my child, guide us on the path of repentance, and strengthen us in the keeping of His Commandments.

Preserve, by your prayers, my child’s life in peace, and in all good grant the success of a righteous life, by the Lord’s power and mercy providing everything necessary for my child’s life and piety. I ask the All‑good God and you, holy Simeon, that my child may live a quiet and peaceful life in goodness and purity, and at the end be found pleasing to the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.
