1. When you hug the icon (of the Mother of God, as if alive, and kiss it passionately with tears.
My Most Holy Mother, save me, for I will perish if You leave me!
- Lord, my God, have mercy on me for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother and all Your saints!
2. Mom! My sweet Mommy! May my soul come forth into Thy hands, and through them may it be given to its Creator, Thy Only Begotten Son. We don’t want anything else, our sweet Mother, than to give up the ghost during the kindling of divine zeal in that fiery love, when our soul burns, and the mind stops, and a fragrant breath blows in a subtle breath, and it is covered in darkness, when the feelings freeze and the desired reigns, zeal, love and life, always sweet Jesus.
3. My sweet Mommy, help me, teach me how to be saved! Intercede, my Mother, before Your Son, so that He may instruct me how I should fulfill His will and what to ask Him for. So that He would open my spiritual eyes, which are closed, so that I do not see Him, while He sees me every moment, and I constantly grieve Him.
