The ORDER of THE GENERAL MOLEBEN
- 24 -
Chanters:
O most holy Theotokos, save us!
Priest:
O our most blessed Queen, O Theotokos our hope, guardian of
orphans, intercessor for strangers, joy of the sorrowful, protectress of
the wronged: thou seest our misfortune, thou seest our affliction; help
us, for we are infirm; feed us, for we are strangers. Thou knowest our
offence: absolve it as thou wilt, for we have no other help beside Thee,
no other intercessor, nor good consoler, except thee, O Mother of
God. Do thou preserve and protect us unto the ages of ages.
Chanters:
Amen.
A Prayer for the Ailing:
Priest:
O Master Almighty, O Holy King, Who chastenest and
destroyest not, Who strengthenest the falling, and settest aright the
fallen, Who correctest the bodily afflictions of mankind: We pray
Thee, O our God, visit Thine infirm servant
N.
with Thy mercy, pardon
him (her) every sin, voluntary and involuntary. Yea, O Lord, send
down Thy healing power from heaven, touch his (her) body, quench
the fever, subdue passion and every subtle infirmity. Be the healer of
Thy servant
N.
raise him (her) from his (her) couch of sickness, and
from his (her) bed of suffering healed and whole; grant him (her) to be
well-pleasing unto Thy Church and doing Thy will. For Thine it is to
show mercy and to save us, O our God, and unto Thee do we send up
glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and
ever, and unto the ages of ages.
Chanters:
Amen.
Deacon:
Wisdom!
Priest:
O most holy Theotokos, save us!
