Prayers to the Theotokos

Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos

Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee! Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, for thou hast borne the Savior of our souls.

It Is Truly Meet

It is truly meet to bless thee, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word: thee, the true Theotokos, we magnify.

My Most Blessed Queen

My most blessed Queen, my hope, O Theotokos, receiver of orphans and protectress of strangers, joy of the sorrowful and defender of the wronged: thou seest my misfortune, thou seest my sorrow. Help me, for I am weak; nourish me, for I am a stranger. Thou knowest my affliction: resolve it as thou wilt, for I have no other help save thee, no other intercessor, no good comforter except thee, O Mother of God, that thou mayest preserve and protect me unto ages of ages. Amen.
