Oh, Most Blessed Lady, Protector of the Christian race, refuge and salvation of those who resort to You! We know, truly we know, how much we have sinned and been angry, O Most Merciful Lady, the Son of God was born in the flesh of You. But to the imams there are many images of those who angered His mercy: tax collectors, harlots and other sinners, to whom forgiveness of sins will be given for the sake of repentance and confession. I imagine the images of those who have been pardoned by the sinners of my soul, and I, looking at the great mercy of God that I have received, will dare and I, a sinner, will come running with repentance to To your mercy. Oh, All-Merciful Lady! Give me a helping hand and ask Your Son and God with your motherly and most holy prayers for forgiveness of my grave sin.
I believe and confess that He Whom You gave birth to, Your Son is truly Christ, the Son of the living God, Judge of the living and the dead, rewarding everyone according to his deeds; I believe again and confess that You are the true Mother of God, the source of mercy, the consolation of those who mourn, the recovery of the lost, a strong and unceasing intercessor to God, fervently loving the Christian race, and the champion of repentance; Truly, there is no other help and protection for us except You, Most Gracious Lady, and no one else, trusting in You, was ashamed when, and by You begging God, no one was quickly abandoned.
For this sake, I pray to Your innumerable goodness: open the doors of Your mercy to me who have gone astray and fallen into the darkness of the depths, do not disdain me who is unclean, do not despise my sinful prayer, do not forsake me, the accursed one, for an evil enemy seeks to kidnap me into destruction, but pray for me, Thy merciful Son and God, born of You, may the great one forgive my sins and will deliver me from my destruction, as yes and I, with all who have received forgiveness, I will sing and glorify the immeasurable mercy of God and Your unashamed intercession for me in this life and in endless time. Amen.
