Oh, Most Holy and Most Blessed Mother of our Sweetest Lord Jesus Christ! We fall down and worship You before Your holy and most honorable icon, whose marvelous and glorious miracles You have performed, saving our sick dwellings from fiery flames and lightning thunder. you heal and fulfill all our good requests for good. We humbly pray to You, O omnipotent family of our Intercessor, to grant us the weak and sinners Your maternal participation and care. Save and preserve, O Lady, under the roof of Your mercy, the Holy Church, this monastery, our entire Orthodox country, and all of us who fall to You with faith and love, and tenderly asking with tears for Your intercession.
She, the All-Merciful Lady, have mercy on us, overwhelmed by many sins and not having boldness towards Christ the Lord, ask Him for mercy and forgiveness, but we offer you to Him for supplication, Mother Him according to the flesh: You, O All-Good One, stretch out Your God-receiving hand to Him and intercede for us before His Goodness, asking us for forgiveness of our sins, a pious, peaceful life, goodness Christian death, and a good answer at His terrible Judgment. At the hour of the terrible visit of God, when our houses are set on fire, or we are terrified by lightning thunder, show us Your merciful intercession and sovereign assistance: may we be saved With your all-powerful prayers to the Lord, we will escape God’s temporary punishment here and inherit the eternal bliss of paradise there: and with all the saints we will sing the Most Honest and Magnificent the name of the worshiped Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and Your great mercy to us, forever and ever.
