Living Temple of the Eternal Word, Pure Dwelling of the Most High, Burning Bush unconsumed, Living Ark overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, look with compassion upon us, your children.
Teach us your humility, strengthen us in purity, guide us in obedience, and lead us always to your beloved Son, our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Never cease to intercede for us, O Full of Grace, until we, with all the saints, glorify the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
May the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos accompany us throughout this blessed Fast, and may our sacrifice bear fruit for many souls.
