(October 25, July 31, September 15)
Oh, Most Holy Virgin, Mother of Christ our God, Marvelous Queen of Heaven and earth! Listen to the much-painful sighing of our hearts; Look down from Thy holy height upon us, standing with faith and love before Thy miraculous icon and praying with tenderness to Thee, Lady! Do not betray the Orthodox Church to degradation, help us, Most Holy Theotokos, to preserve the patristic Orthodox faith immaculately until the end of our days, to walk unswervingly in all the commandments of the Lord and deliver we are from harmful, soul-harming teachings. In Your mercy, O wondrous Queen of Heaven and earth, we trust, Your servant: cleanse our minds from sinful thoughts, mental relaxation, overwhelming passions, temptations, temptations and falls; You are, O Lady, a strong refuge for repentant sinners.
Raise us from the depths of sin and water our parched hearts with true repentance, enlighten our heartfelt eyes to the sight of salvation, and guide those seduced by demonic delusion onto the right path; Destroy every evil and ungodly deed; Teach and make progress in every good and godly deed; Put, O Lady, into our hearts the spirit of the fear of God, the spirit of piety, the spirit of meekness, humility, patience, gentleness; soften our evil hearts and grant us zeal for the salvation of our neighbors. Teach us, O All-Merciful Intercessor, how to walk sinlessly along the path of this earthly life: for You, Most Holy One, weigh our faith and see our hope. Oh, Lady of the world! Comfort those who mourn, help those in need; protect from lightning thunder, harmful winds, fierce diseases, deadly ulcers, civil strife, invasions of foreign enemies. Oh, Most Holy Theotokos!
We are spared from sudden and violent death; Grant to all of us a conversion to the true path and a Christian end to our lives that is painless, shameless, peaceful, and a partaker of the Holy Mysteries. At the time of our exodus, appear to us, O Virgin Mother of God, and deliver us from the power of demons, airy bitter ordeals and eternal fire. To those who have passed away by sudden death, beg the mercy of Your Son, and for all those who have fallen who have no relatives, begging for the repose of Your Son, You Yourself be unceasing and warm Prayer Book and Intercessor. For those who have ceased in faith and repentance from this temporary life, our fathers, brothers, mothers and sisters, through Your intercession, may dwell in the abodes of Heaven with the Angels and with all saints, where the voices of those constantly celebrating and joyfully glorifying the Most Holy Trinity, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
