Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos

O Sovereign Lady Virgin Theotokos, rejoice; Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, for thou hast borne the Saviour of our souls.O my Sovereign Lady Theotokos, by thy holy and all-powerful prayers, banish from me, thy humble and wretched servant, despondency, forgetfulness, foolishness, carelessness, and all filthy, evil and blasphemous thoughts, from my wretched heart and my darkened mind. And quench the flame of my passions, for I am poor and wretched. Deliver me from many cruel memories and deeds, and free me from all evil effects; for blessed art thou by all generations, and glorified is thy most honorable name, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
