Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
My nature was captive of death and corruption, O Virgin, but your Son and
Lord saved it from both by surrendering Himself to death. Pray to Him for
my deliverance from the evil deeds of my enemies.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
I know that you are the Intercessor of my life, O Virgin, my firm
Protectress, healing the rebellions of temptations and dispelling the
wiles of demons. I pray constantly that you will deliver me from my
destructive passions.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
We have obtained you, O Maiden, as a wall of refuge and a most thorough
salvation of souls. The multitude of human sorrows is not too great for
you, and we ever rejoice in your illumination. Save us now, O Lady, from
passions and misfortunes.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
I am lying on a bed of infirmity and there is no cure for my flesh. But I
pray to you, the Good One who bore the God and Savior of the world: raise
me from the destruction of illnesses.
