The Supplicatory Canon to Our Lady Quick to Hear

O Quick to Hear, O Virgin Mother of God, hearken to thy servants, who in painful maladies and sorrows cry out to thee, and save us from all kinds of danger. Drive off the clouds of dark despondency far from my Soul, O Lady, and grant joy of heart unto thy servant, O Maid Most Pure; for thou art the Vessel of Gladness.


The Miraculous Icon of Panagia Gorgoepikoos is at the Monastery of Docheiariou on Mount Athos.
