Кафисма 13

It is good to confess to the Lord, it is good to sing the glory and miracles of His beloved Mother, the Ever-Virgin Mary: proclaim, proclaim with a cheerful mind Her bounty and all Her mercies, exclaim with the harp of your heart, as if Her wonderful deeds have been magnified over us, and a foolish man does not understand them, but those who seek You are accepted as heaven. citizens, and those who carry Her sweetest name in their minds and hearts will be written in the book of the eternal life, they will be planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. The Lord reigned, clothed with beauty; having clothed His blessed Mother with a robe full of all the beautiful virtues, such a shrine befits His house, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Teach us, Lady, to do all the truth, clothe our souls in the robe of salvation, so that we may not remain outside the palace of Christ, help those who are impoverished in a clear conscience, transform them and set them up as the lot of heavenly truth. God of vengeance, Lord, for our unrepentant sins are subject to His righteous judgment, but You, all-merciful Lady, bow to His patience and beseech Him; If it weren’t for You who helped us through Your intercession to Him, our hardened soul would soon have entered hell; blessed is he who understands in his heart Your motherly intercession; Prayer is not in vain; every repentant sinful soul prays to You with it; because of the multitude of sins in its conscience, Your heavenly consolations will encourage it and the gloomy spirit of despair will disappear. Glory to Thee, Queen of Heaven, the salvation of sinners seeking salvation. Rejoice, Most Holy Ever-Virgin Mary, most pure and greatest of all angels and archangels, virgin before the Nativity, virgin at the Nativity, virgin after the Nativity; I pray to You, grant me this grace, so that I may love spiritual and physical purity, so that I may not lose the grace of the Holy Spirit. Come, let us rejoice in our Lady Ever-Virgin Mary, let us precede Her face in psalms and praise You with spiritual songs; come, let us worship and fall at Her feet, confessing our sins with grateful weeping before Her: She will ask Her beloved Son, Christ our God, for mercy for us, She will appear before the judgment seat of God, will intercede at the end for our souls and will honor with Her intercession an eternally blessed rest. Sing new songs of gratitude, sing praises to the Mother of God to all the ends of the earth, proclaim Her glory to the nations and Her wonders to all people; the glory of heaven is in Her most holy face, meekness and humility are in Her hands: let the heavens rejoice, having within themselves the omnipotent Queen, let the earth rejoice, triumphant in Her glorious name. The Lord reigns, the heavens and the earth rejoice, His beloved Mother, the Most Pure Ever-Virgin Mary, rejoices more than all the inhabitants of heaven and earth-born, in the whole realm of His dominion; worship Her, all the inhabitants of the region, Angels, Archangels and all the powers of heaven, magnify your great Queen; Patriarchs and prophets, weave eternal praises to Her; apostles, saints, martyrs, confessors, virgins, sing to Her from the songs of Zion; rejoice, all righteous ones, in the presence of the glorified Lady, confess always and everywhere with your heart and lips the memory of Her shrine. Bringing star to the Ever-Virgin Mary, enlighten, I pray to Thee, my sinful blindness, take in the sighing of my soul, in order to diligently love Thee, fill my heart with heavenly grace, as even though I am unworthy, but with the goodness and mercy of Thy beloved Son, my true Savior, hitherto covered, I will partake of some of the smallest grains that fall from the table of eternal joy. Sing a new song to our Lady, as if you have performed wondrous miracles in the Christian race, revealed Your mercy to the ends of the earth, Her glorious name can be heard throughout the entire universe; We, more than anyone, believe and confess that She was, is and will forever be our most merciful Mother, an abyss of mercy and generosity, a ladder to heaven, a mental ark, through which we will be safely saved from the eternal fiery flood. The Lord reigned, co-glorified with Him and His beloved Mother, as the most honorable of the Cherubim and the most glorious of the Seraphim stands at the right hand of God; Great is Her glory in Zion and Her splendor in heavenly Jerusalem, Great is Her praise on earth, and the Church of believers confesses Her glorious name forever and ever. Exclaim to the Mother of God, all faithful and pious people, pray to Her with reverence and rejoice before Her with joy of spirit, approach Her with a submissive heart and in heartfelt tenderness kneel before the holy image of Her face, illuminated by heavenly grace; let us be pure in heart and show Himself to us in peace and silence; From whom the Queen of Heaven turns away Her face for fierce unrepentance, there is no hope of salvation for him. Oh, most merciful Lady, remember us in Your favor, and hellish hostility will disappear. I will sing mercy and judgment to You, Queen of Heaven, I will sing mercy, even though I humbly seek from You, I do not perish, but am saved, I will sing judgment, because for my iniquities I am deprived of Your maternal favor towards me, but I will praise, I will praise with song Your glorious name, Lady, and I will find true peace of my soul; I have lifted myself up to Thy goodness and bounty, and I will not be deprived of my trust and hope in Thee; Confirm my weak soul in faith, hope and love for Your beloved Son, Savior and my God, may You show forgiveness for my sins. Rejoice, lover of solitude and desirer of eternal peace for all believers, meekest Virgin among the virgins of Jerusalem, fragrant flower, quiet and gentle Dove, loving Mother of children! Scatter, I pray to You, my vain thoughts and gather up my scattered spirit, as I sigh for You and worship You always, amen. According to the 13th kathisma of the troparia, ch. 5 Knowing the innumerable grace of Thy mercy and the divine power of Thy power, O Lady, I diligently appeal to Thee: snatch Thy servant from every fierce sorrow, and fill my heart with joy, O O God-rejoicing One. Take up arms against those who fight us as an enemy: for they are fierce in Thy property, O All-Tsaritsa, destroy those insolence, so that they understand Thy strength: consume all of Thy divine mania. True salvation for Christians, indestructible intercession for sinners, our strong Helper, cover me with the wings of Your sovereign cover, and stand before my outgoing soul. Oh, Most Holy Lady, my Lady Theotokos, Heavenly Queen! save and deliver me, Your sinful servant, from vain slander, from all misfortune and misfortune and sudden death. Have mercy on me in the daytime hours, and in the morning and evening, and preserve me at all times; Protect those who stand, those who sit, and those who walk on every path, and those who sleep at night, provide, cover and protect. Protect me, Lady Theotokos, from all my enemies, visible and invisible, and from every evil situation. In every place and at every time, be the Mother of God, an insurmountable wall and strong intercession always, now, and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
