Miracle-working prayer for Saint Parascheva
“Lord, our God, You, Who said and made all creation, do not turn Your face away from us sinners, so that the terrible and fearful wrath of pains, which is the fruit of our sins, which in all day, countless, recklessly we commit them.
We are sinful, unworthy, and full of malice; and You are the source of life and mercy. Don’t leave us, God! Do not pass away our prayer, sinners, nor reward us according to our iniquities, but because we are not worthy to earn mercy through daily diligence, bestow it on us as a merciful and Merciful One.
Lord, through the prayers of our Pious Mother Parascheva, grant us health and a life free from all evil, and strengthen us with Your ruling Spirit, as from the depths of our hearts, with joy to glorify Your most holy name forever. Amen!”
