(April 25)
Oh, Most Holy Virgin, Mother of the Lord of the Highest Powers, Heaven and Earth Queen, our city and country, Almighty Intercessor! Hear us praying to You, and ask God for Your Son to be our shepherd, zeal and vigil for souls, for the city ruler - wisdom and strength, for the judges - truth and impartiality, for the mentor - reason and humility, for a spouse - love and harmony, for a child - obedience, for the offended - patience, for those who offend - the fear of God, for those who mourn - complacency, for those who rejoice - abstinence. The spirit of reason and piety, the spirit of mercy and meekness, the spirit of purity and truth were sent down to us all. Hey, Most Pure Lady! Have mercy on Your weak people: gather the scattered, guide the lost on the right path, heal the sick, support old age, keep the young chaste, raise and look after babies. on all of us with the care of Your merciful intercession. Be merciful to us here and at the Last Judgment of Your Son.
For you are, Lady, the glory of Heaven and the hope of earthly people; according to God, you are our hope and the Intercessor of all those who flow to You with faith. We therefore pray to You and to You, as the Almighty Helper, to ourselves and to each other and to all our lives we commit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
