Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
O most pure Mother of God, look on me, a sinner, and deliver me from the snares of the devil. Direct me onto the path of repentance, that I may weep bitterly over my deeds.
Canon to the Theotokos
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Beset by many temptations, I run to you, seeking salvation. Save me from burdens and evils, O Virgin Mother of the Word.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
The increase of passions troubles me, filling my soul with great despondency. Still it, O Maiden, with the stillness of your Son and God, O All-Undefiled One.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
I pray you, O Virgin who bore our Savior and God, deliver me from terrors! I run to you now, laying before you my soul and my thoughts.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
