Богородица

On the third day, after Her blessed Dormition, the Mother of God rose from the dead and now lives in heaven in body and soul. She not only resides in heaven, She reigns in heaven. She, as the Mother of the Heavenly King, was declared the Queen of Heaven, the Queen of both holy Angels and holy men. She was given special power and special boldness to intercede before God on behalf of humanity. The Holy Church, addressing petitions to all the greatest saints of God, to all the Angels and Archangels, says to them: pray to God for us; To one Mother of God she uses the words: save us. The Mother of God is the greatest intercessor and helper of all those who work to please God, all who have dedicated their earthly life to serving God. Appearing to a certain holy monk, She healed him of a serious illness and called him one of Her family. 23 She is a quick consolation for those who grieve and cry, She is a representative of the repentant, She is a reliable refuge for sinners who want to turn to God, She is the warmest intercessor for them before God. Standing before the Mother of God in deep reverence for Her greatness, in sacred bewilderment and surprise, in the delight of faith and love, the children of the Orthodox Church bring all-joyful praise to the Ever-Virgin. Accept, Lady, these infant voices, this infant babbling, intensified by the warmth of the heart to define Your greatness and unable to define it due to the weakness of the mind, the weakness of the word, the immensity of Your greatness... Most Holy Theotokos, glory to You! Most Holy Theotokos, save us! Blessed Seraphim of Sarov. You might be interested in:
