Knowing the greatness of the position of the Holy Martyrs in front of Christ, let us always run to them in our prayers to ask for their help. For if men who have a great position with their earthly king because of what they have done, can offer great benefits to those who run to them for favors with the king, then much more will the Saints who have acquired their position with the King of Heavens, by what they have done for His sake.
St. John the Chrysostom
