O Most Holy and Most Blessed Virgin, Mother of God Mary! We fall down and worship You before Your holy icon, remembering Your glorious miracle, the healing of the truncated right hand of the Venerable John of Damascus from this icon, whose sign is visible to this day on it, in the form of a third hand attached to Your image. We pray to You and ask You, the all-good and all-generous Intercessor of our race: hear us praying to You, and just as you heard Blessed John, who cried out to You in sorrow and illness, so do not despise us who grieve and suffer from the wounds of many different passions, who zealously come to You with a contrite soul. You see, O All-Merciful Lady, our infirmities, our embitterment, our need, I will require Your help, as enemies surround us from everywhere, and there is no one who helps, who is lower than the one who intercedes, unless You have mercy on us, the Lady.
To her, we pray to You, listen to our painful voice and help us to preserve the patristic Orthodox faith until the end of our days, to walk unswervingly in all the commandments of the Lord, to always bring true repentance for our sins to God, and to be honored with a peaceful Christian death and a good answer at the Last Judgment of Your Son and our God, Whom you prayed for us with your mother. through Your prayer, may He not condemn us according to our iniquity, but may He have mercy on us according to His great and ineffable mercy. O All-Merciful One, hear us and do not deprive us of Your sovereign help, so that having received salvation through You, let us sing and glorify You on the land of the living and our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, born of You, to whom befits glory and power, honor and worship, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
