Virgin Lady Theotokos, gracious Mother of God, most blessed Mother of God, Most Blessed, God-Blessed, receptacle of the Divinity of the Only Begotten Son of the immortal and invisible Father, incline Your ear and listen to my words uttered by my foul and unclean lips. For behold, with a contrite soul and a humble mind, I have flowed to Your mercy.
Do not despise me, poor one, do not allow me, your unworthy servant, to perish completely, but use the Mother of Your prayers, heal my accursed soul, mercilessly crushed by my evil passions.
The evil enemy, having crushed her with the sins of voluptuousness, trampled her into dust. Therefore, I am filled with all shame, I do not dare and do not have the face to ask my humane God for forgiveness of my many sins and healing of my incurable ulcers. For I desecrated the physical church, brought into it many impurities with my obscene wishes, and damaged all my feelings with impermissible deeds. Therefore, I do not have the courage to raise my hands to heaven, defiled by evil practices.
And I opened my lips to pray, defiled by slander and slander against my neighbor. Therefore, before Your ineffable bounty, O All-Immaculate Lady, I, poor and prodigal, prostrate myself. For I have no other hope or refuge than You, my only consolation and quick protection - You, the joy of my soul, liberation from sadness, redemption from captivity, the deification of mortals, our purification and refuge, the rise of the fallen, the re-creation of my soul and body, the atonement for my sins, exuded by God, the irrigation of my parched heart, the radiant lamp of the darkened my soul, the covering of my nakedness, the cessation of my sighs, the change of my destinies.
I trust in You, I boast in You; do not deprive us of Your intercession, but always help, protect and do not abandon us. Pleasant are Your petitions to Your Only Begotten Son. For He who was pleased to be counted among the slaves, how much more will He preserve His decree and mercy towards You, who served Him with an ineffable birth? That is why He rejoices at Your intercessions and, considering Your glory to be His own, dutifully fulfills Your requests.
Don’t just despise me, the poorest one, and let the indecency of my deeds not stop Your immeasurable mercy, Mother of God, the name that is most precious to me, for nothing can be stronger than Your help. Therefore, most impeccable Intercessor of the world, guilty of many sins, I fall with repentance to You, the quick Helper in need, according to God the Protector, reliable and strong intercession for me, and from the depths of my heart I cry: have mercy on me, filled with all stench and laziness, O Benevolent and Compassionate One, and accept this pitiful and insignificant request of mine.
And although I lazily and carelessly bring it to You, nevertheless, with Your Mother’s prayers, make me worthy of the Heavenly Kingdom, praising and blessing the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and always, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
