The Great Canon Á-? On Wednesday of the First Week - Page 7 of 20
To St. Mary of Egypt:
I am hard pressed by the waves and billows of
my sins, mother. But now bring me safely through, and lead
me to the haven of divine repentance.
Refrain:
Holy mother Mary, pray for us.
To St. Mary of Egypt:
In offering a fervent prayer at this time to the
compassionate Mother of God, O Saint, by thy intercession
open to me the divine right of entry.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
To The Trinity:
Simple, uncreated Unity, unoriginate Nature
praised in a Trinity of Persons, save us who with faith
worship Thy power.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion:
O Mother of God, unwedded thou gavest birth in
time to the timeless Son of the Father. And - O strange
wonder! - thou remainest a Virgin while suckling Him.
