Madam, may the Lord not convict us of our iniquities with His wrath and justice. You, all-merciful Representative, seek His forgiveness for us, unrequited ones. For you are our unshameful hope and our unfalse hope; there is no peace in our bones from the face of our sin, but by the most blessed fruit of Your womb we are reconciled to God, His grace and Your mercy are at our right hand. Reh, I will preserve the saving ways of Your beloved Son, Queen of Heaven, and the grace of Christ will be given to me, but my spirit is vigorous, but my flesh is weak; have mercy on me from heaven and from the height of Your glory, my Helper, and never let my feet wander from the right path, do not let them go, and keep them, so that they do not crawl and stumble on the stone of evil passions, and may my enemies’ souls not rejoice over me! Hear my prayer, O Lady, and do not despise my poor prayer. I endured Your grace, O Lady, and You did for me according to the multitude of Your mercy: You heard my prayers and brought me out of the pit of sin-loving passions and from the pit of the hellish enemy. Marvelous and unfathomable are the essence of Your bounty; let all who love You rejoice and rejoice in You, and let those who hate Your name go down to hell; Blessed and glorified are You, Lady, forever and ever. Rejoice, thou who hast represented the heavenly Margaret; no sinful darkness can surround His spiritual beauty and luminosity; I, sinner, know my iniquities and, humbly throwing myself before Thy feet, I pray that you do not despise me, oh, my hope, but raise up my great repentance from the depths of sin, so that I will not perish, like an inexcusable slave in the future. Blessed and blessed are You, Mother of God Mary, for you mean the poor in spirit and the poor in heart. In those who confess their weaknesses before God and before You, God’s almighty power and Your maternal intercession act. Glory to Thee, Lady, the helpless, the poor and the wretched are inalienable wealth. In the same way that the trees desire the springs of water, my thirsty soul runs to Thy holy love, Queen of Heaven; You are the life of my life and the nourisher of my poor flesh; You fed the Savior of my soul with milk, and you yourself fed on the incorruptible food of His divine teaching. O Light, illuminated by heavenly light! Enlighten, I pray to Thee, my inner darkness, so that my mind and desire may be revealed in Thy light to the heavenly Zion. Judge me, O Lady, and judge between me and my flesh, between me and the beautiful world, between me and the evil serpent devil, and the deadly adder, may Your only help deliver me from these three terrible enemies; crush, O Lady, their proud heads, exhaust their strength, and strengthen me against them; Thy right hand is in strength; for with it dost thou uphold Him that contains all things. May the Lord rise in me by His grace, for Your motherly prayers, and my enemies will be scattered. Rejoice, for you have received the gift, as the Mother of God, to heal all Christians’ ailments, and deliver them from troubles, and forgive sins, and save them from captivity, and from all needs; Do not despise us, Lady, for we also demand them - health to our bodies and salvation to our souls. Lady! Our fathers told us and now we ourselves hear with our ears and see with our eyes, since the essence of Your bounties is unsearchable, and since Your miracles are marvelous, and since Your mercies are innumerable: the east and the west, the south and the north are illuminated by them; everywhere Her heavenly blessings are prepared for those who praise You, for those who praise Her most holy name will be magnified by God. My heart will vomit a word of goodness to the Lady Ever-Virgin Mary: as from Her sweet-breathing lips comes heavenly sweetness, as with the most holy Fruit of Her womb my sins are cleansed, as through Her immaculate virginity blessed immortality was given to my soul, as through Her Nativity I was delivered from hellish captivity and elevated to the eternal heavenly fatherland. Lady! You are our refuge in all our needs, You are the strength and strength that crushes all my enemies; The earth is filled with Thy goodness, it goes even to the underworld, from the fulfillment of Thy grace one was in hell, rejoicing, freed from it through Thy glorious virgin Nativity and human beings, an accomplice in death, became an incorporeal Angel. Rejoice, most blessed Ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ our God; You are exalted above the powers of heaven and stand at the right hand of God in robes gilded and speckled; I cry to You from the deplorable vale of this world: cover me with the shelter of Your wing, grant me the grace to die in pious faith and, after leaving this life, be worthy to see the blessed Fruit of Your womb - the sweetest Jesus Christ, my Savior. According to the 6th kathisma troparia, ch. 6 My mind is now exhausted, having fallen into the depths of contrary thoughts, and I cannot bear weakening: hear me when I am tempted and grant me peace, as you are good, so that I will not be the food of the evil one, blessed Mary. Make me a merciful judge of the world, O Virgin; No one else can intercede like You, Mother of God, the Lord of all. Therefore, pray diligently for me, the only pure one Visibly standing before Your icon, invisibly I stand before You living in heaven, Mother of the belly, and with reverence I pray to enemies visible and invisible, deliver me, O Lady Undefiled, unblasphemous, imperishable, most pure, unbridled Bride of God, Mother of God Mary, Ever-Virgin, Lady of the world and my hope! Look upon me, a sinner, at this hour, and from Thy pure blood Thou hast unknowingly given birth to the Lord Jesus Christ; make me merciful through Thy motherly prayers; That which has matured is condemned and wounded in the heart with the weapon of sadness, wound my soul with Divine love; The mountaineer who mourned him in chains and abuse, grant me tears of contrition; With His free conduct to death, my soul was seriously ill, free me from illness, so that I may glorify You, worthily glorified throughout all ages. Amen.
