0 My most holy Mistress, the Theotokos, who art
far more honorable than the angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim, and
far more holy than all the saints, 0 Virgin Mother of God! Save me, thy humble
and sinful servant, for thou knowest, all-merciful Lady, that, after God, I
place all my hope in thee, and that I have no other refuge of salvation but
thee, 0 all-good one. Thou art my strength, 0 Mistress, thou art my power, thou
my rejoicing in sorrows, thou my haven in temptations, thou my correction in
falls, thou also mine all-hoped for salvation, 0 Mother of my Lord and Maker!
Help me, who sail upon the depths of this life, terribly beset and endangered
by drowning in sin. Grant me a helping hand, my helper, and deliver me from the
mire of the deep, that I not sink down into the abyss of despair: for the storm
of sins and passions hath risen against me and the waves of transgressions
overwhelm me. But do thou, 0 compassionate Mother, thou haven of
passionlessness, direct and save me, 0 hope of the hopeless and mediatress of
my salvation. Amen.
