Oh, Most Holy Lady Theotokos! Thou art above all, Angel and Archangel, and all the most honest creatures: thou art the helper of the offended, the hopeless, the intercessor of the wretched, the comforter of the sad, the nurse of the hungry, clothing for the naked, healing for the sick, salvation for sinners, help and intercession for all Christians. O All-Merciful Lady, Virgin Mary and Lady! By Thy mercy save and have mercy on our Orthodox people, the Great Lord and Father of our Holiness Patriarch Kirill, His Eminence metropolitans, archbishops and bishops, and all the priestly and monastic rank, the authorities and the army and all Orthodox Christians through the robe of Your honest protection; and pray, Lady, from You, the incarnate Christ our God, that He may gird us with His power from above against our invisible and visible enemies. O All-Merciful Lady Theotokos!
Raise us from the depths of sin, and deliver us from famine, destruction, from cowardice and flood, from fire and sword, from the presence of foreigners and internecine warfare, and from vain death, and from attacks of the enemy, and from harmful winds, and from deadly plagues, and from all evil. Grant, Lady, peace and health to Your servants, all Orthodox Christians, and enlighten their minds and the eyes of their hearts, even to salvation, and grant us sinners Thy servants, of the Kingdom of Thy Son, Christ our God, for His power is blessed and glorified, with His Beginning Father and with His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
