Prayers
Apolytikion: The offspring of Athos and the great adornment of Monks, defender of Ascesis, haven of silence and Prayer, our Father you were revealed. Through your life you showed us, Grace’s ways of Salvation, saving through your entreaties those who faithfully Pray to you. And therefore intercede with the Lord, O Righteous Father Joseph.

With them, do thou Pray that those who honour thee be saved.
