Here is the full text of the prayer for the detention of the elder Pansophius of Mount Athos translated into English:

Merciful Lord, in the past, through the mouth of Your servant Moses, You once stopped the movement of the Sun and the Moon for an entire day while the people of Israel avenged their enemies.

By the prayer of the Prophet Elisha, You once struck the Syrians, detaining them, and then healed them again.

You once foretold to the Prophet Isaiah: 'Behold, I will turn back by ten steps the sun's shadow, which has gone down on the steps of Ahaz,' and the sun turned back by ten steps on the steps by which it had gone down.

Through the mouth of the Prophet Ezekiel, You closed the depths, stopped rivers, and held back waters.

And through the fasting and prayer of Your Prophet Daniel, You sealed the mouths of lions in the den.

And now, detain and slow down all the intentions surrounding those who stand against me regarding my movement, dismissal, reassignment, or exile until the proper time.

So now, thwart the evil desires and demands of all those condemning me, seal the mouths and hearts of all those who slander, malign, and revile me, and all those who insult and humiliate me.

So now, bring spiritual blindness to the eyes of all those who rise against me and my enemies.

Did You not tell the Apostle Paul: 'Speak, and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you.'

Softened the hearts of all who oppose the good and the dignity of the Church of Christ. Therefore, may my mouth not be silenced to expose the wicked and praise the righteous and all the wonderful deeds of Yours. May all our good intentions and desires be fulfilled.

To you, righteous ones and intercessors of God, our bold advocates, who once, through the power of your prayers, held back the invasion of foreign tribes and thwarted the hatred of those who would have destroyed the evil plans of people, who sealed the mouths of lions, I now turn with my prayer and my request.

And You, Venerable Elder Elijah of Egypt, who once protected the dwelling place of your disciple with the sign of the Cross, commanded him to arm himself with the name of the Lord and not to fear demonic temptations. Guard my house where I live and keep it safe from fire, theft, and all evil and harm.

And you, Venerable Father Popy, the Syrian, who once, with unceasing prayer, held a demon motionless for ten days, so that he could not move day or night, now, guard my cell and my house, keeping all resisting forces and those who revile the name of God and despise me outside its boundaries.

And now, prevent all the evil intentions of my enemies who wish to expel me from this city and destroy me. Do not let them approach my home; stop them with the power of your prayers. When this prayer reaches the Lord, may the Holy Power halt them where they are.

And you, Blessed Piamma, the virgin, who once, through the power of prayer, halted the advance of those who sought to destroy the people in your village, where you lived, now halt all the schemes of my enemies who wish to expel me and harm me. Do not let them approach my home; stop them with the power of your prayers: 'Lord, Judge of the Universe, to whom all unrighteousness is displeasing, when this prayer reaches You, may the Holy Power stop them where they are.'

And you, Blessed Laurence of Kaluga, pray to God for me, as you have the boldness to intercede before the Lord for those suffering from diabolical snares. Pray to God for me, that He may guard me from Satan's tricks.

And you, Venerable Basil of the Caves, complete your prayers of prohibition against those who attack me and drive away all diabolical plots from me.

And all you, saints of the land of Russia, by the power of your prayers, dispel all devilish charms and all diabolical schemes and plots against me and my possessions.

And You, Great and Fearsome Guardian, Archangel Michael, with your fiery sword, cut off all the desires of the enemy of mankind and all his followers who wish to harm me. Stand unwaveringly as the guardian of this house, everyone living in it, and all its possessions.

And You, Lady, not in vain called the 'Impenetrable Wall,' for all those who oppose me and plot mischief against me, indeed be a true barrier and an impenetrable wall, guarding me from all evil and adversity.

May the Lord protect you and your family! A visible testament to His protection will be the unique amber icon provided by our online store
