To You, O Mother of God, we prayerfully flow our sins, Your miracles in the Holy Lavra of Pochayev, revealed in remembrance and lamentation of our sins. We know, Lady, we know that it is not right for us sinners to ask anything, except for the Righteous Judge to leave our iniquities to us. All that we have endured in life, sorrows and needs and illnesses, like the fruits of our falls, have languished us, I allow this to God for our correction. Moreover, the Lord brought all this truth and judgment to His sinful servants, who in their sorrows came to Your intercession, the Most Pure One, and in the tenderness of their hearts she cries out to You: Our sins and iniquities, O Good One, do not remember, but rather lift up Your all-honorable hands, stand before Your Son and God, may He forgive us for the cruelty we have committed, may He not turn His face away from His servants for our many unfulfilled promises, may He not take His grace, which contributes to our salvation, from our souls.

To her, Lady, be the Intercessor for our salvation, and not disdaining our cowardice, look upon our groans, even in our troubles and sorrows we lift up before Your miraculous image. Enlighten our minds with tender thoughts, strengthen our faith, confirm our hope, grant us the sweetest gift of love to accept us. By these gifts, Most Pure One, and not by illnesses and sorrows, may our belly be raised to salvation, but protect our souls from despondency and despair, deliver us who are weak from the troubles and needs that come upon us, and human slander, and unbearable diseases. Grant peace and prosperity to the Christian life through Your intercession, O Lady: strengthen the scepter of our blessed king, the believer of Your intercession: establish the Orthodox faith in our country and throughout the world. Do not betray the apostolic and conciliar Church to disparagement, preserve the statutes of the saints forever, unshakable, and save all who come to You from the perishing pit.

Also, bring the heresy of our deceived brethren, or the saving faith of those who have been destroyed by sinful passions, to true faith and repentance, so that together with us, who worship Your miraculous image, they will confess Your intercession. Grant us, O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, even in this belly the victory of truth by Your intercession to behold: grant us grace-filled joy before the end of our perception, just as the inhabitants of Pochaev of old showed by Your appearance the victors and enlighteners of the Hagarians: yes, all of us, with a grateful heart, together with the Angels and prophets and apostles and with all the saints, glorifying Your mercy, let us give glory, honor and worship in the Trinity to the sung God, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
