(August 26)
Oh, Most Holy Lady, Lady Theotokos, you are above all Angels and Archangels and all the most honest creatures, you are the Helper of the offended, the hopeless, the poor Intercessor, consolation of the sad, Nurse of the hungry, clothing of the naked, healing of the sick, salvation of sinners, help and intercession for all Christians. O All-Merciful Lady, Virgin Mother of God, Lady, by Your mercy save and have mercy on Your servants, the Great Lord and Father of our Holy Patriarch (name of the rivers), and Reverend metropolitans, archbishops and bishops, and all the priestly and monastic ranks, our God-protected country, military leaders, city governors and Christ-loving troops and well-wishers, and all Orthodox Christians, through the robe of Thy honest protection, and pray, O Lady, from Thee without the seed of the incarnate Christ our God, that He may gird us with His power from above on our invisible and visible enemies.
O All-Merciful Lady, Lady Theotokos, raise us from the depths of sin and deliver us from famine, destruction, from cowardice and flood, from fire and sword, from the presence of foreign and internecine warfare, and from vain death, and from the attack of the enemy, and from corrupting winds, and from deadly plagues, and from all evil. Grant, Lady, peace and health to Your servants, all Orthodox Christians, and enlighten their minds and the eyes of their hearts, even to salvation, and grant us sinners Thy servants, the Kingdom of Thy Son, Christ our God, for His power is blessed and glorified, with His Beginning Father, and with His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now, and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
