O All-Merciful Lady, Virgin Mother of God! Listen to my humble prayer, and hear the voice of Your now approaching image with contrition. We know, O my Creator Mother, for You are the unshameful intercession of Christians and the immutable intercession to the Creator: we know this too, for my iniquities have exceeded my head and as a heavy burden has weighed down on me, and I am no longer worthy to see the heights of heaven, to look lower to the throne of glory of Your Son and our God, but I am worthy of the torment that appears and eternal damnation.
For this reason, I fall down to You [with those who are coming together], I pray to You tenderly, I cry to You with tears: lift up Your motherly prayer to Him, so that He will not reject us sinners from His presence, but, as He is merciful, may He forgive us our sins, voluntary and involuntary, instructing us on the path of salvation and strengthening us with the power from above to keep His commandments: may He preserve us from the temptations of the world, from sinful lusts, from the snares of the devil and from the attacks of visible enemies: may he bless the works of our hands, giving this monastery and every city and country an abundance of earthly blessings: preserving health and strengthening the scepter of our most pious sovereign Nikolai Alexandrovich, may he create good and serene days for all of us: may he protect His Holy Church with peace, and let the distant one unite him, for the Lord is good, long-suffering and abundantly merciful, glorified from all creation with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
