Canon to the Theotokos
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Desiring to establish our salvation, O Savior, Thou didst enter the Virgin’s womb, showing her as the Intercessor for the world. Blessed art Thou, O God of our Fathers!
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Pray to Him Who is mercifully disposed and Whom you bore, O Pure Mother, that we may be delivered from transgressions and defilement of soul, who cry out with faith: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Thou didst show her who gave birth to Thee as a source of healing, a strong pillar, and a gate of repentance for those who cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Grant healing from physical weakness and spiritual infirmities to those who draw near to your Protection with love, O Virgin Birthgiver of God, who bore Christ the Savior for us.
