(August 10)
Oh, most wonderful and above all creatures, Queen Theotokos, Mother of Heavenly King Christ our God, Most Holy Hodegetria Mary!
Hear us, sinners and unworthy, at this hour praying to You with sighs and tears before Your Most Pure Image, falling down, and tenderly saying: Bring us out of the ditch passions, Hodegetria the Good, deliver us from all sorrow and sorrow, protect us from all misfortune and evil slander and from the unrighteous slander of the enemy.
You can, O our Gracious Mother, not only save Your people from all evil, but also provide and save Your people with every good deed: is there no other representative for You in troubles and circumstances and warmth? intercessors for us sinners to Your Son, Christ our God, are not imams. We begged Him, Lady, to save us and grant us the Kingdom of Heaven, so that through Your salvation we may glorify Thee in the future, just as we are the Author of our salvation, and we extol the all-holy and magnificent the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, in the Trinity glorified and worshiped God, forever and ever. Amen.
