And, having no joy or consolation, we call to You, Mother of our God Jesus Christ, that Your Son may forgive us all our sins and send to us the Spirit of the Comforter, as He sent Him to the apostles, so that comforted and enlightened by Him we may sing to You a song of thanksgiving: Rejoice in the Most Holy Mother of God, who has added our mind to salvation. Amen.





My Most Holy Queen, My Most Holy Hope, a friend to the beleaguered and strange intercessor, distressed by help and embittered by the veil, behold my attack, behold my sorrow; I am possessed from everywhere by temptation, but bear the intercessor. Thou shalt help me because I am weak, feed me like a strange one, teach me like a fool, heal and save me like a hopeless one.

No Imams of other help, no Imams of other hopes, unless You, Lady, help us, we hope in You and boast of You, Your Bosma Rabbi, let us not be ashamed. Under Your mercy we resort, Virgin Mother of God, do not despise our prayers in sorrow, but deliver us from evil, pure and blessed One. Amen.

And now, O All-Holy, All-Beloved Mother, grant us the addition of the mind, die, unite in enmity and division of the being, and place for them an unsolvable sauce of love, turn all those who have gone astray from folly to the light of the truth of Christ, instruct God’s fear, abstinence and industriousness, the word of wisdom and spiritually useful knowledge to those who ask, grant us, autumn us with eternal joy, the cherubim of the brightest and Seraphim of the most honest being.
