Irmos: I have heard, O Lord,/ I have seen Your mystery,/ I have understood Your works,/ and I have glorified Your Divinity.
As you have strong trust in God, the wonderful news of seedless conception, which surpasses the understanding of man, you humbly accepted, O Blessed One. Instruct me also how to live by faith and trust in the mercy of Your Son, Who was incarnated as a hedgehog to save sinners from eternal death.
You did not doubt, O Mother of God, about the Divine providence, when Joseph knew that you were in the womb of a child and thought to let you go, but rather with prayer you strengthened your soul. Teach me to pray with hope, O Good One, for the mortal sin of infanticide due to feeble-mindedness and hard-heartedness.
Glory: You gave birth to Christ, the Savior and the Lord in a poor den, the Most Pure One, you humbly wrapped you in swaddling clothes and laid you in a manger. How will I look at Him, the accursed one, as if I followed the vanity of this world, in cowardice and anger I destroyed my child?
And now: Looking at the Beloved Son, nailed to the Cross and betrayed to the martyr, you wept, O Mother of God, Highlander. Now, sitting in the glory of Heaven at His right hand, do not forsake the sinners who continually cry out for Your intercession.
