The Great Canon Á-? On Wednesday of the First Week - Page 2 of 20
The priest saw me first and passed by on the other side.
Then the Levite took a look at my sufferings and disdained
my nakedness. But stand by me, O Jesus Who didst dawn
out of Mary, and have compassion on me.
(Luke 10:31-33)
Refrain:
Holy mother Mary, pray for us.
To St. Mary of Egypt:
Grant me that illuminating grace from on high
given thee by Divine Providence that I may escape the
darkening of the passions and fervently sing of the thrilling
achievements of thy life, O Mary.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
To The Trinity:
Superessential Trinity, adored in Unity, take from
me the heavy yoke of sin, and in Thy compassion grant me
tears of compunction.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion:
Mother of God, hope and intercessor of those who
sing of thee, take from me the heavy yoke of sin, and as
thou art our pure Lady, accept me who repent.
