O All-Merciful and Most Merciful Lady Queen Theotokos! If you desire, you can ask Your Son, Christ our God, for everything. Accept my prayer, and do not reject from Your intercession the most sinful man of all: grant me freedom from troubles and sorrows, deliver me, O All-Pure One, from visible and invisible enemies and from evil people slandering me, do not let me perish from famine, sword, cowardice, flood and fire, and be my Helper incomparable, for under Your roof I will always be preserved and by Your prayer on the Last Day of Judgment I will appear uncondemned to Your Son and our God, to Him belongs glory and power, with the Beginning Father and the Holy Spirit, now and to the endless ages of ages.
