(May 1)
Undefiled, unblasphemous, imperishable, Most Pure, Pure Virgin, Bride of God to the Lady, even God the Word, united by Thy glorious man, and the rejected nature of our race There is one hope for the heavenly, even for the unreliable, and for those who struggle, ready intercession for those who flow to You and refuge for all Christians! Do not disdain me, a sinner, a foul one, with foul thoughts, and words, and deeds of all things that are unnecessary for yourself, and with the mind of laziness, the sweets of the life of a former slave. But like the humane-loving Mother of God, have mercy on me, a sinner and fornicator, and accept my prayer brought to You from profane walls, and Your Son and ours Master and Lord, using Thy motherly boldness, pray that He will also open for me the humane wombs of His goodness, and despise my countless sins, turn me to repentance and The worker of his commandments will show me skillfully.
And appear before me as merciful, merciful, and loving in this present life, a warm Representative and Helper, driving away the resistant invasions, and instructing me to salvation, and in keeping my damned soul at the time of my exodus, and driving away the dark eyes of wicked demons far from it, and on the terrible day of Judgment, delivering me eternal torment, and the indescribable glory of Your Son and God our heir showing me: May I also grant you, my Lady, the Most Holy Theotokos, through Your intercession and intercession, grace and love for mankind of Your only begotten Son, Lord and God and our Savior Jesus Christ, to Him belongs all glory, honor and worship, with His Father without beginning, and the Most Holy and Good and By His life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
