O blessed and holy women, who followed Christ God with faith and love and settled in the abode of the Heavenly Father! Now, as a sinner, I come running to you and humbly pray: teach me and help me to walk with God in your ways without stumbling and inherit eternal life with you. O righteous Martha, who pleased Christ with your firm confession of faith, strengthen my weak faith. To serve the Lord and the brethren unfeignedly and diligently, help me to carry out my service uncomplainingly and with all my soul. Once upon a time, in your sorrow, you called out to Christ for your sister, and rejoice: the Teacher has come to eat and speaks to you. Now, therefore, stand before me in this difficult hour of testing my faith and love: and in the depths of my heart, proclaim that the Lord Jesus is coming, and through trials will draw me to Himself. Ask me, O holy mother, from our Lord for strength and strength, so that, having risen quickly, I will flow to Him, worship Him, and in His humble love I will find His peace and the salvation of my soul.
And you, O God-speaking Mary, who at the feet of Jesus found the only thing you need, pray to Him for the good part of those being saved and for me to receive the sinners. Having brought fragrant myrrh as a gift of thanksgiving to Christ the Giver of Life, now beg Him and my soul to give the ointment of prayer and repentance, tears, purity and good deeds, a fragrance, so that the Lord will come to my heart renewed by all these and create an abode for Himself.
To you, O holy righteous wives Martha and Mary, I fall and humbly pray: do not leave me in the days of difficult trials, lest I be tempted by the corruptible and red things of this world, especially in the bitter hour of separation of my soul from my body, present yourself to me, and beg our common Master to look upon me in the impoverishment of my strength with a merciful eye, and having forgiven all my sins, he will restore me to endless life in the blessed abodes of the Heavenly Father. Amen.
