To the Lady Theotokos, the delight of my soul, the withered heart of my God-flowing Stream, the bright Lamp of my darkened mind, the lazy will of my guide, the Guide to my infirmities, the Strength of nakedness, the endowment of poverty, the wealth of incurable wounds, powerful and quick healing, the drying of tears, the quenching of sobs, the transformation of troubles, the relief of illnesses, bond resolution, salvation Hope! Hear my prayer: give me time of repentance, zeal for salvation, strength in the labors of pleasing God: save me from misfortunes and all kinds of evils, in temptation and troubles extend Your helping hand, so that I may rise in the fall and not perish in cruelty. Until I remain in this painful life, do not deprive me of the gifts of Your mercy. Grant Thy goodness to all the Christ-loving brethren standing here and praying. Raise the infants, guide the young, support the old, comfort the faint-hearted, bring the erring to reason, look upon and protect the widows and the orphans, pour out Your rich mercy on all those who love and hate us.
And at the end of my life, at the time of my exodus from my body, be my Intercessor: soften mortal illness, quench melancholy and lead my poor soul to the eternal abode, so that the dark force does not take me and drag me down into the depths of hell. To her, Blessing the Lady Theotokos, tenderness of my soul! Warm my heart, cold in faith and love, with tears of tenderness: send down upon me, the grieving and burdened with sins, for the prayers of the venerable Father Seraphim, Your admirer, the necessary joy and consolation. May I not, O Bride of God, be deprived of the hope of my fruit, but may I be granted this acceptance in God and my Savior, Thy beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. To him be glory and power, honor and worship, with His Originless Father, and His All-Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and ever.
