(Sunday after August 28)
Most Pure Mother of God, the house that the Wisdom of God created for herself, the Giver of spiritual gifts, raising our minds from the world to the worldly and leading everyone to the knowledge of reason! Receive prayerful singing from us, Thy unworthy servants, who bow with faith and tenderness before Thy most pure image. Pray to Your Son and our God, that He may grant to our rulers wisdom and strength, to judges truth and impartiality, to our shepherds spiritual wisdom, zeal and vigil for our souls, the teacher of humility, the child of obedience, but for all of us the spirit of reason and piety, the spirit of humility and meekness, the spirit of purity and truth.
And now, our all-singing, all-loving Mother, give us an increase in intelligence, pacify, unite in the enmity and division of existence and put for them an insoluble bond of love, all those who have gone astray from unreasonableness Convert to the light of the truth of Christ, teach the fear of God, self-control and hard work, grant the word of wisdom and useful knowledge to those who ask, overshadow us with eternal joy, Cherubim the brightest and most honest Seraphim. We, seeing the glorious deeds and abundant wisdom of God in the world and our life, will remove ourselves from earthly vanities and unnecessary worldly cares, and our mind and heart will go to Heaven Let us raise up, as through Your intercession and help, glory, praise, thanksgiving and worship in the Trinity to the glorified God and all to the Creator, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
