PRAYER OF SAINT MODESTOS BISHOP OF JERUSALEM, SAID IN THE CASE OF EVERY FATAL SICKNESS AND DANGER TO OXEN, HORSES, DONKEYS, MULES, SHEEP, GOATS, BEES, AND ANY OTHER ANIMALS
O Lord Jesus Christ my God, Who are merciful and All-good, Who in wisdom created every visible and invisible creature, Who pours out His compassions upon all that He has created, Who through Your all-good Providence foresees and troubles over for all Your creatures: bodiless, physical, rational, irrational, soul-bearing, soulless, from the first to the last. For there is nothing that is not foreseen, neither is there anything abandoned by You, the Fashioner and Foreseer of all. For You are He Who opens His hand, and fills all living things with goodness. You are He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men. You are He Who once preserved from above the animal herd of Israel, from the fatal wound of the first-born animals of the Egyptians. You are He Who, through the compassion of Your incarnation, deposed he who had the might of death: that is, the devil, and by Your death, You put death to death.
You are He Who, through myself Your unworthy servant, put to death the serpent, that corrupted the spring of water. Those that drank from it, both the living and the dead, through Your life-giving power, you resurrected. And the demon that was in cooperation with the serpent, as it prepared to make itself apparent, swore, that it would never dare to approach the place in which my humble name is invoked. To You, therefore, I pray, O All-good Master and Fashioner of all, and I entreat You, the Cause of all life, hearken to this my entreaty, and drive away every fatal sickness and danger from the oxen, horses, donkeys, mules, sheep, goats, bees, and any other animals in true need to the life of Your servants who call upon You, the Giver of every good, and upon my name. And grant, O Lord, to all those who celebrate my name, and with faith hasten to my relics, permanent peace, multiplication of animals, uncorrupted wheat, wine and oil, and above all, remission of sins, health of bodies, and eternal salvation of souls.
Yes, O Lord Jesus Christ, for the descendants from Your very loins, grant compassion on the suffering animals, the herd of which is being afflicted by the sickle of death. And not having any word besides bellowing, and bitter and random noises, in Your mercy, take away their suffering and pain. For if You even call rational beings to this sympathy: "A righteous man has compassion upon his animals", as is written, how much more do You show compassion on these, Who are their Fashioner and Foreseer? For You, O compassionate one, preserved the animals in the Ark, as Your goodness and compassion won out. That by the wellness and multiplication of the oxen, and the remaining four-legged animals, the earth might be worked, and fruit might be harvested, and that bounteously Your servants who call upon my name will partake of their very harvest. And that through these, having all things that are necessary, might be increased in every good work, and glorify You, Who grants every good thing. And grant me also, Your servant and most-fervent entreater, the honor of Your all-governing Kingdom, for to You belong all glory, honor and worship, with Your beginningless Father, and Your All-Holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
