Then, the Kontakion of the Theotokos
:

To Thee the Champion Leader, we thy servants dedicate a feast of victory
and of thanksgiving, as ones rescued out of sufferings, O Theotokos; but as
thou art one with might which is invincible, from all dangers that can be, do
thou deliver us, that we may cry to thee: Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded!

Most glorious Ever-Virgin, Mother of Christ God, present our prayer to thy
Son and our God, that through thee our souls may be saved

All my hope I place in thee, O Mother of God: keep me under thy protection.

O Virgin Theotokos, disdain not me a sinner, needing thy help and thy
protection, and have mercy on me, for my soul hath hoped in thee.
Then the prayer of St. Joannicius:

My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son, my protection is the Holy Spirit:
O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.
