The Great Canon Á-? On Thursday of the First Week - Page 4 of 20
Refrain:
Holy mother Mary, pray for us.
To St. Mary of Egypt:
Thou didst stretch out thy hands to the merciful
God, O Mary, when sunk in the lowest vices. And He Who
by every means was seeking thy conversion, lovingly
stretched out a helping hand as to Peter.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
To The Trinity:
Unoriginate, uncreated Trinity, indivisible Unity,
accept me who repent, save me who have sinned. I am Thy
creation, despise me not, but spare me and deliver me from
the fire of condemnation.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion:
Spotless Lady, Mother of God, hope of those who
run to thee, and haven of those in distress, obtain grace for
me from the merciful One, Thy Son and Creator, by thy
prayers.
