Zealous intercessor, Compassionate Mother of the Lord, I resort to You, the accursed and most sinful man above all, hear the voice of my prayer, hear my cry and groans, like iniquity mine has exceeded my head, and I, like a ship in the depths, am plunging into the sea of my sins. But You, All-Good and Merciful Lady, do not despise me, desperate and perishing in sins; have mercy on me, who repent of my evil deeds, and turn my lost, damned soul to the right path. On You, my Lady Theotokos, I place all my hope. Thou, Mother of God, preserve and keep me under Thy roof, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
