(September 14)
Oh, Most Holy Virgin, Mother of the Lord of the Highest Powers, Heaven and Earth Queen, our city and country, omnipotent Intercessor! Receive this song of praise from us, unworthy Thy servant, and lift up our prayers to the throne of God Thy Son, that He may be merciful to our unrighteousness and add His grace to those who worship Your all-honorable name and with faith and love those who worship Your most pure image. For we are not worthy of mercy from Him, unless You propitiate Him for us, O Lady, for all things are possible for You from Him.
For this reason we resort to You, as to our undoubted and speedy Intercessor: hear us praying to You, surprise us with Your great and rich mercy, show us your heavenly mercy Thy help and intercession, and ask God for Thy Son, our shepherd zeal and vigil for souls, the city ruler wisdom and strength, judges truth and impartiality, mentor reason and humility, love and harmony for a spouse, obedience for a child, patience for those offended, fear of God for those who are offended, complacency for those who grieve, abstinence for those who rejoice; 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 those who have gone astray to the right path, heal the sick, support old age, keep the young healthy, raise babies, and look down upon all of us with the gaze of your merciful intercession, raise us up from the depths of sin and enlighten the eyes of our hearts to the sight of salvation.
Be merciful to us here and at the terrible judgment of Your Son, but our fathers and brothers who have ceased in faith and repentance from this life will live in eternal life with the angels and with all the saints create life. For You are, Lady, the glory of heaven and the hope of earthly, You, according to God, are our Hope and Intercessor of all those who flow to You with faith. We pray to You, and to You, as the Almighty Helper, we commit ourselves and each other and our whole life, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
