Oh, peace to the Intercessor, Mother of All Singing! With fear, faith and love, falling before Your honorable icon “The Sovereign,” we fervently pray to You: do not turn Your face away from those who come running to You. Pray, merciful Mother of light, Your Son and our God, the Sweetest Lord Jesus Christ, to keep our country in peace, to establish our country in prosperity and deliver us from internecine warfare; may he strengthen our Orthodox Holy Church and unshakably protect her from unbelief, schism and heresies. The imams have no other help than You, Most Pure Virgin: You are the all-powerful Christian Intercessor before God, softening His righteous wrath. Deliver all who pray to You with faith from the falls of sin, from the slander of evil people, from hunger, sorrow and illness.
Grant us the spirit of contrition, humility of heart, purity of thoughts, correction of sinful life and forgiveness of our sins; Yes, all of us, gratefully praising Your greatness, let us become worthy of the Heavenly Kingdom, and there, with all the Saints, let us glorify the Most Honorable and Magnificent Name in the Trinity of the glorified God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
