I give my life as protection to You, and according to God, I place all the hope of my salvation on You, Lady Virgin Mary. I pray to Thee, Thy servant: do not despise me for having committed many sins, but see my sorrow and bewilderment over this, and grant me weakness and consolation, so that the accursed one may not perish completely. Stretch out the right hand of Troy, O Pure One, take me away from the troubles of my deeds, and place me in the pure pasture of the commandments of Christ, my King and God, so that I always do what I can, and be strengthened by You. Deliver me from my cruel sins, O Lady, and send down saving repentance to Your Son and God through Your maternal intercession. The ineffable light that has arisen, enlighten my spiritual darkness, which came to me from my sins. My joy, deliver me from the invisible enemies who have passed me by: sin for my many and heavy, my enemies are fierce, death is near, my conscience denounces me, fiery Gehenna frightens me, the never-ending worm, the gnashing of teeth, the pitch darkness of Tartarus makes me tremble, for they are waiting for me accept my evil deeds for the sake of them. Alas for me! What will I do then and to whom will I resort, so that my soul will be saved?
To You alone, sweet Mary Theotokos, the sorrow of death delights those who trust in You and delivers those who cry to You from the cruelty of Gehenna. Help me too, O All-Blessed One, who has no other help but You, O All-Singing One. Save me from the horrors of the hour of death, and deliver me from the cruelty of demons: save me from the power of evil spirits in the ordeals of the air: manifest, I pray to Thee, then show me Thy bright face, Lady, and do not leave me helpless. O merciful Mother! Bow down for mercy to me, deprived of mercy from my deeds, and beseech Him who You gave birth to in the flesh of Christ, our Savior and God, who shed Your Most Pure Blood on the Cross for us, so that I may receive forgiveness of sins and eternal salvation, and glorify Your ineffable mercy, Mother of God, and Your merciful intercession to endless ages.
