If it were not for Thy mercy, O Mother of God, the countless ones revealed to the human race, my soul would have become sad and plunged into the abyss of despair. But, trusting in Your intercession, the Imam will gain hope for salvation.
The foreigners of a certain monastery annoyed Your Son with wickedness, and He pronounced His righteous judgment, even though I would destroy; Also, stop your Mother’s mouth, so that the voice of petition does not come out.
