Prayers
Troparion: Seek us who are perishing, O Most Holy Virgin, do not chasten us according to our sins, but since you are merciful in your love for mankind, deliver us from hell, and sickness, and necessity, and save us.
Kontakion: We have no other help, we have no other hope, but you, O Lady. Help us, for in you we hope, and of you we boast, for we are your servants. Let us not be put to shame.
