Canon of prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos:

Icon of the Mother of God Unbreakable Wall

Troparion to the Theotokos (4th tone)

Let us now diligently approach the Mother of God, sinners and humility, and let us fall down in repentance, calling from the depths of our souls: Lady, help us, having had mercy on us, struggling, we perish from many sins; do not turn away Thy servants of vainglory, Thy fighting hope of Imams (Twice).

Glory, and now:

Let us never be silent, Mother of God, to speak Your strength in unworthiness, if You had not stood before us, praying, who would have delivered us from such troubles, who would have kept us free until now? We will not retreat, O Lady, from You: for Your servants always save you from all evil ones. Pritets - We’ll come quickly, we’ll come running. Let's fall down - Let's approach with a bow, let's fall at the feet. Struggling - try, be diligent, hurry up. Don't turn me away - don’t send it back, don’t return it. Treasure - in vain, for nothing. United - the only one. Imams

- we have. We will never be silent... Your strength speaks

- let us not stop talking about Your power. If only You would not have stood praying - for if You had not interceded (for us with Your) prayers. From so many - from so many. Always - always. From all kinds of fierce - from all kinds of troubles (fierce in the meaning: misfortune, villainy, lawlessness).

Song 1 Irmos:

Having traversed the water like dry land, and having escaped the evil of Egypt, the Israelite cried out: Let us drink to our Deliverer and our God.

Chorus:

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

I am troubled by passions, and by a great deal of despondency, fill my soul; die, O Revelation, with the silence of Your Son and God, All-Immaculate.

Glory:

Having saved the one who gave birth to Thee and God, I pray, O Virgin, to be delivered from the cruel ones; For now, running to You, I stretch out both my soul and my thoughts.

And now:

Sick in body and soul, grant the Divine visitation and providence from You, the only Mother of God, as the good Mother of the Good.

Salvation is sought- looking for salvation. From heavy and fierce- from everything heavy and fierce, from all disasters. Prilozi- attacks, seizures. Execute- fill; in this case - filling (my soul with much despondency). Lyutykh- evil, disaster.

Song 3

Irmos: O Lord, Supreme Creator of the heavenly circle, and the Creator of the Church, Thou strengthenest me in Thy love, the desires of the land, the true affirmation, the only Lover of Mankind.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

I offer the intercession and protection of my life to You, the Virgin Mother of God: You feed me to Your refuge, the good one, the affirmation of the faithful, the only All-Singing One.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

I pray, Virgin, to destroy the storm of my spiritual confusion and sorrow: You, O Blessed One of God, gave birth to the ruler of the silence of Christ, the only Most Pure One.

Glory:

The Mother of God, having given birth to good sinners, poured out wealth to everyone; You can do everything, for you have given birth to the mighty Christ in the fortress, O blessed one.

And now:

He who is tormented by severe illnesses and painful passions, O Virgin, help me; healings for the infinite treasure I know You, Immaculate, inexhaustible.

Desire's edge- the limit of desires. Okormi- guide, guide (cf. the word helmsman). Good is guilty- the cause, the culprit of good (cf. further: good culprit - the culprit of all good). The boss is the source, the beginning. Everything you can- because you can do everything. Unexpected- inexhaustible.

Lord, the Supreme Creator of the heavenly circle, and the Creator of the Church... In these words the Lord appears as the Builder and firmament(and the entire visible universe), and the Church. The expression of the Heavenly Circle of the Supreme Creator is remarkable; a more accurate translation from the Greek would be “firmament”; the supreme creator is the supreme, highest builder, but also the one who lays out the top of the vault, the dome.

Save Thy servants from troubles, Mother of God, for we all, according to God, resort to Thee, as an unbreakable wall and intercession.

Look with mercy, O all-sung Mother of God, on my fierce body, and heal the illness of my soul.

Prizri- look, turn your gaze; look with mercy- look mercifully. Fierce bodily bitterness- severe bodily suffering.

Troparion (2nd voice)

The prayer is warm and the wall is insurmountable, source of mercy, refuge of the world, we diligently cry out to Ti: Mother of God, Lady, advance and deliver us from troubles, the only one who will soon intercede.

Peace refuge- a refuge for the world. We diligently cry out- we earnestly cry. Preliminary- hurry up, get ahead, show up earlier.

Song 4

Song 1 I heard, O Lord, Thy sacrament, I understood Thy works, and glorified Thy Divinity.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

The confusion of my passions, the helmsman who gave birth to the Lord, and the storm of my sins, O Bride of God, calmed the storm.

Grant me the abyss of Thy mercy, Who gave birth to the Blessed One and the Savior of all who sing to Thee.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

Glory:

On the bed of my illness and infirmity, help those who lie down, as God-loving, help the Mother of God, the only Ever-Virgin.

Now:

Hope and affirmation and salvation are the wall of the immovable property of You, the All-Singing One, we get rid of every inconvenience.

I heard, I understood, I glorified- I heard, I understood, I glorified (forms of the 1st person past tense).

Watching- providence, providence, divine economy. Embarrassment- here: indignation excitement. The helmsman who gave birth to the Lord- who gave birth to the Helmsman-Lord. I call upon the abyss of Thy mercy, grant me- give me Your endless mercy, for which I cry (literally: when I call on the abyss of Your mercy, give me [it]). Even the one who gave birth to the Blessed- who gave birth to the Merciful (Not translated in this phrase). Enjoying... Your gifts - enjoying Your gifts. Leading by Thee Mother of God- knowing that You are the Mother of God (recognizing You as the Mother of God). Help- help. Property- here: having in You. Inconvenience- here: difficulty, trouble.

Song 5

Song 1 Enlighten us with Your commandments, O Lord, and with Your high arm grant us Your peace, O Lover of Mankind.

Perform, Pure, fun my heart, Giving your imperishable joy, giving birth to joy to the guilty.

Deliver us from troubles, O Pure Mother of God, by giving birth to eternal deliverance and peace, which prevails over all minds.

Glory:

Resolve the darkness of my sins, Bride of God, with the enlightenment of Your Grace, Who gave birth to the Divine and Eternal Light.

And now:

Heal, O Pure One, the infirmity of my soul, worthy of Thy visitation, and grant me health through Thy prayers.

Imperishable- pure (the word in the original Greek means “unparalleled”, “whole”). Veseliya gave birth to the guilty- giving birth to the Creator of the fun. Eternal birth of deliverance- who gave birth to eternal Deliverance (that is, Christ the Savior: here is personification). Peace, every mind prevails- peace that surpasses any mind (peace - meaning peace, silence). Allow- scatter. Most worthy- here: worthy, worthy.

Song 6

Irmos: I will pour out a prayer to the Lord, and to Him I will proclaim my sorrows, for my soul is filled with evil, and my stomach is approaching hell, and I pray like Jonah: from aphids, O God, lift me up.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

As if He saved death and aphids, He Himself gave birth to death, corruption and death my former nature, Virgin, pray to the Lord and Thy Son, to deliver me from the enemies of crime.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

We are the representative of Thy life and the guardian of steadfastness, O Virgin, and I solve rumors of misfortunes, and drive away taxes from demons; and I always pray to deliver me from the aphids of my passions.

Glory:

Like a wall of refuge for money-grubbers, and the all-perfect salvation of souls, and space in sorrows, O Young Lady, and we ever rejoice in Your enlightenment: O Lady, save us now from passions and troubles.

And now:

I now lie on my bed sick, and there is no healing for my flesh; but, having given birth to the God and Savior of the world and the Savior of illnesses, I pray to You, O Good One: raise me from aphids and illnesses.

Tom- To him. Come true- filled up. My hell belly is approaching- my life has come closer to hell. From aphids- from death. He saved death and aphids- because You saved from death and destruction. Having published- betrayed Yato ex- embraced. Enemies of villainy- here: from the villainy of enemies (by enemies we mean spirits of evil, demons). We blow the representative of Thy belly- I know that You are the intercessor of life (we know, I know). I will solve misfortunes by rumors- (that You) free from the excitement of temptations (rumor - confusion, anxiety; decide-allow - to untie, to free; misfortune- attack; here: demonic attack, temptation). Taxes- attacks (cf. the word lean). From aphids- from death. Like a wall of refuge- we received (You) as a wall behind which we take refuge (the wall of refuge is that fortress, city wall behind which people hide during attacks and siege). Spaces- space. We always rejoice in Your enlightenment- we always rejoice in Your light (by Your enlightenment - dative case plural: to the radiances of Your light; always - always). No- No. Illness- illnesses (genitive plural).

Kontakion, tone 6

The intercession of Christians is not shameful, the intercession to the Creator is immutable, do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, but anticipate, as Good, help us, faithfully calling Ti; hasten to prayer, and strive to entreat, interceding ever since, the Mother of God, those who honor Thee.

Representation, petition... In modern Russian, in this case, we would use the words “Representative”, “Intercessor”. Do not despise the sinful prayers of the voices - do not despise the prayerful voices of sinners (the word order in the expression of the sinful prayers of the voices is different than it would be in modern Russian; these are not “sinful prayers”, but the prayers [prayers of the voices] of sinners). Preliminary- hurry up. Help us- to help us. Right- with faith. - Let's approach with a bow, let's fall at the feet.- try, be diligent. Representing- protecting.

Another kontakion (same voice)

There are no imams of other help, no imams of other hope, except for You, Most Pure Virgin. Help us, we rely on You, and we boast in You, for we are Your servants, let us not be ashamed.

Not imams- we don’t have (we don’t have). Is it for you?- except you. Help- help (in the word, the alternation of a consonant: “g” is replaced by “z”). We are your servants- because we are Your slaves.

Stichera (same voice)

Do not entrust me to human intercession, Most Holy Lady, but accept the prayer of Your servant; sorrow will overpower me. I can’t stand demonic shooting, there is no protection for the imam, below where the accursed one will resort, we always win, and there is no consolation for the imam, do you, the Lady of the world, have the hope and intercession of the faithful, do not despise my prayer, make it useful.

Sorrow will hold me- because grief overwhelmed me. Not an imam - I don’t have one (I don’t have one). Below is where I will resort- and I don’t find refuge anywhere (below - and neither). Is it for you?- except you.

Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God

Song 7

Irmos: The youths who came from Judea, in Babylon sometimes, by the faith of the Trinity, quenched the fire of the cave, singing: God of the fathers, blessed art thou.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

Just as you wanted to create our salvation, O Savior, you moved into the Virgin’s womb, and you showed the world a representative: our father, God, blessed are you.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

The driver of mercy, Whom you gave birth to, Pure Mother, beg to be delivered from sins and spiritual defilements by faith: our father, God, blessed are you.

Glory:

The treasure of salvation and the source of incorruption, Who gave birth to You, and the pillar of affirmation, and the door of repentance, You showed to those calling: Our Father, God, blessed are You.

And now:

Bodily weaknesses and mental ailments, O Theotokos, with the love of those who approach Thy blood, O Virgin, vouchsafe to heal, Who gave birth to us the Savior Christ.

Came down from Judea- came from Judea. Sometimes- once upon a time, no time. By Trinity Faith- by faith in the Trinity. Ask for help- trampled. Into the womb of the Virgin- into the womb of the Virgin (that is: the Virgin; Virgo- an adjective, not a noun). Yuzhe- Which one. Showed you- You did it, you showed it. Lords of mercy- desiring mercy, loving mercy. Pillar of Affirmation- tower-stronghold, firm support, stronghold. Love coming- here: with love those who approach (that is: “heal the weaknesses and ailments of those who approach with love” - and not “heal with love the weaknesses and ailments of those who approach...”). Vouchsafe to heal- heal (deign to heal).

Song 8

Song 1 Praise and exalt the Heavenly King, Whom all the angels sing, to all ages.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

Do not despise those who demand help from You, O Virgin, who sing and extol You forever.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

You heal the infirmity of my soul and bodily illnesses, Virgin, may I glorify You, Pure, forever.

Glory:

You pour out a wealth of healings faithfully to those who sing of Thee, O Virgin, and to those who extol Thy ineffable Nativity.

And now:

You drive away adversity and the onset of passions, O Virgin: therefore we sing of You forever and ever.

Voi angelstii- angelic armies. Those who require help from You- those who ask for your help. Right- with faith. Christmas- here: childbirth (that is we're talking about not about Christmas - the birth of the Virgin Mary, but about the event of the Nativity of Christ). Prilogs- attacks, onslaughts, additions.

Song 9

Song 1 We truly confess Thee to Theotokos, saved by Thee, Pure Virgin, with disembodied faces magnifying Thee.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

Do not turn away from the current of my tears, Even though you have taken away every tear from every face, the Virgin who gave birth to Christ.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

Fill my heart with joy, O Virgin, who accepts the fulfillment of joy and consumes sinful sadness.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

Be refuge and intercession for those who come running to You, O Virgin, and an unbreakable wall, refuge and protection and joy.

Glory:

Enlighten your light with the dawns, O Virgin, driving away the darkness of ignorance, faithfully confessing the Theotokos to you.

And now:

In the place of the embitterment of the infirmity of the humbled one, O Virgin, heal, transforming illness into health.

With disembodied faces- that is, with angelic ranks. Yearning- flow. Who took away every tear from every face, the Virgin who gave birth to Christ- The virgin who gave birth to Christ, who wipes away every tear from every face (the word order in the phrase is different than it would be in modern Russian). Virgo, Who also receives fulfillment of joy- Virgo who has accepted the fullness of joy (fulfillment - completeness, completion). Consuming sinful sadness- destroying the sadness of sin (consume - destroy, destroy). Bitterness- disasters, suffering. Humbled- here: discouraged. Transforming from ill health to health- making a sick person healthy (transform - transform).

Stichera (2nd voice)

Highest heaven and the pure lordships of the sun, who delivered us from the oath, let us honor the Lady of the world with songs.

Because of my many sins my body is weak, my soul is also weak; I resort to You, Most gracious, the hope of the unreliable, You help me.

Mistress and Mother of the Deliverer, accept the prayer of Your unworthy servants, and intercede with Him who is born of You; Mistress of the world, be the Intercessor!

Let us diligently sing a song to You now, the all-sung Mother of God, joyfully: with the Forerunner and all the saints, pray to the Mother of God to be generous to us.

All the angels of the army, the Forerunner of the Lord, the twelve apostles, holy everything with the Mother of God, say a prayer so that we can be saved.

From an oath- from the curse. Unreliable- deprived of hope, lost hope. Help- help. Pray, Mother of God, to be generous to us- pray, Mother of God, (God) to have mercy on us. Twelver- twelve (it would be more accurate to say - twelve, but such a word is not in the dictionaries; in addition, here is the vocative case). In the hedgehog- to.

Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Blessings to my queen, my hope to the Mother of God, friend of the orphans and strange intercessors, those who grieve with joy, those who are offended by the patroness! See my misfortune, see my sorrow; help me as I am weak, feed me as I am strange. Weigh my offense, resolve it as if by your will: for I have no other help except You, no other intercessor, no good comforter, except You, O Mother of God, for you will preserve me and cover me forever and ever. Amen.

Friend of the Orphans- orphanage. Strange representative- intercessor of travelers. Feed me like I'm strange- guide me, a wanderer, on the path. Vesey- You know. Allow that one- free from her. Yako volishi- as you want. As if I am not the imam of any other help- because I don’t have (I don’t have) any other help. Is it for you?- except you.

To whom shall I cry, Lady? To whom shall I resort in my sorrow, if not to You, Queen of Heaven? Who will accept my cry and my sighing, if not You, Most Immaculate, the hope of Christians and refuge for us sinners? Who will protect You more in adversity? Hear my groaning, and incline Your ear to me, the Lady Mother of my God, and do not despise me, who requires Your help, and do not reject me, a sinner. Enlighten and teach me, Queen of Heaven; do not depart from me Thy servant, O Lady, for my murmuring, but be my Mother and intercessor. I entrust myself to Your merciful protection: lead me, a sinner, to a quiet and serene life, so that I may weep for my sins. To whom shall I resort when I am guilty, if not to You, the hope and refuge of sinners, inspired by the hope of Your ineffable mercy and Your bounty? About the Lady Queen of Heaven!

You are my hope and refuge, protection and intercession and help. To my queen, most blessed and speedy Intercessor! Cover my sins with Your intercession, protect me from enemies visible and invisible; soften your hearts evil people , rebelling against me. O Mother of the Lord my Creator! You are the root of virginity and the unfading color of purity. O Mother of God! Give me help to those who are weak with carnal passions and those who are sick at heart, for one thing is Yours and with You Your Son and our God Imam intercession; and by Your wondrous intercession may I be delivered from all misfortune and adversity, O most immaculate and glorious Mother of God, Mary. The same with hope I say and cry: Rejoice, O Blessed One, rejoice, O O Joyful One; Rejoice, Most Blessed One, the Lord is with You. More - If. Pace - bigger, better. Ubo - here: same. Imam - I have. Same

O Most Holy Virgin, Mother of Christ our God, Queen of heaven and earth! Hear the much-painful sighing of our soul, look down from Thy holy height upon us, who with faith and love worship Thy most pure image. We are immersed in sins and overwhelmed by sorrows, looking at Your image, as if You were alive and living with us, we offer our humble prayers. The imams have no other help, no other intercession, no consolation except You, O Mother of all who mourn and are burdened. Help us the weak, satisfy our sorrow, guide us, the erring, on the right path, heal and save the hopeless, grant us the rest of our lives to spend in peace and silence, grant us a Christian death, and at the Last Judgment of Your Son, the merciful Representative will appear to us, and always We sing, magnify and glorify Thee, as the good Intercessor of the Christian race, with all those who have pleased God, forever and ever.

Amen. Wonmi - listen with attention. As if You are alive with us - as if you are alive with us. Not imams

- because we don’t have it.

Kontakion, tone 6

The intercession of Christians is shameless, the intercession to the Creator is immutable, do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, but advance, as the Good One, to the aid of us who faithfully call upon Ty; hasten to prayer, and strive to entreat, interceding ever since, the Mother of God, those who honor Thee.

Representation, petition... In modern Russian, in this case, we would use the words “Representative”, “Intercessor”. Do not despise the sinful prayers of the voices - do not despise the prayerful voices of sinners (the word order in the expression of the sinful prayers of the voices is different than it would be in modern Russian; these are not “sinful prayers”, but the prayers [prayers of the voices] of sinners). Preliminary- hurry up. Help us- to help us. Right- with faith. - Let's approach with a bow, let's fall at the feet.- try, be diligent. Representing- protecting.

Another kontakion (same voice)

There are no imams of other help, no imams of other hope, except for You, Most Pure Virgin. Help us, we rely on You, and we boast in You, for we are Your servants, let us not be ashamed.

Not imams– we don’t have (we don’t have). Is it for you?- except you. Help– help (in the word, alternation of consonants: “g” is replaced by “z”). We are your servants- because we are Your slaves.

Sorrow will hold me- because grief overwhelmed me. Not an imam - I don’t have one (I don’t have one). Below is where I will resort– and I don’t find refuge anywhere (below – and neither). Is it for you?- except you.

Rules for private reading of the canon

Due to the fact that in most cases the canons are read in conjunction with morning And evening prayers, there is no need to read any additional prayers. In this case, the canon is read before the prayer “It is worthy to eat.”

If the canon is read separately from the morning or evening prayer rule, then the following prayers are said first: Initial prayer

Through the prayers of the saints, our fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen. Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, abiding everywhere and filling everything, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.

Instead of this prayer, from Easter to Ascension, it is read three times: “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling death upon death, and giving life to those in the tombs”; from the Ascension until the day of Holy Pentecost (Trinity), this prayer is not read at all, the Trisagion is read immediately.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.

Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now, and always, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, who is in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us our daily bread today; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were.

Abbreviations: instead of the inscription “Glory:” or “Trinity:”, it reads “Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Instead of the inscription “And now:” or “Theotokos:” it reads “And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen". Instead of “Glory, and now:” it reads “Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen". During cell readings, in addition to the liturgical custom, it is allowed to read instead of the word “Trinity”: “Most Holy Trinity, our God, glory to Thee,” and instead of “Theotokos”: “Most Holy Theotokos, save us.”

Before the reading of each troparion a chorus is added (see. choruses to the canons). If the troparion is preceded by the designation “Glory:” or “Trinity:”, then the troparion is dedicated to the Lord and instead of the chorus, “Glory:” is read. If the troparion is inscribed “And now:” or “Theotokos:”, then it is dedicated to the Most Holy Theotokos and is also read without a chorus (only “And now:” is read). If there is no trinity in the song, but only the Mother of God, “Glory, and now:” is read before it. If not and the Mother of God (in the canons of the Most Holy Theotokos), then “Glory, and now:” is read after all the troparions. In the eighth canto, instead of “Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,” it reads “Let us bless the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit of the Lord.” After the 3rd and 6th songs (during home reading), “Lord, have mercy” is read three times.

At the beginning of each song, the irmos of the first canon is read, then all its troparia with choruses are read in turn, then the troparia of the next song of the second canon, etc.

After the canon, the final prayers are read:

It is worthy to eat as truly to bless Thee, Theotokos, Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and Mother of our God. We magnify You, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption.

From Easter to Ascension, instead of this prayer, the chorus and irmos of the 9th canon of the Easter canon are read: “Angel crying with the Most Blessed One: Pure Virgin, rejoice! And again the river: Rejoice! Your Son is risen three days from the grave and raised up the dead; people, have fun! Shine, shine, new Jerusalem, for the glory of the Lord is upon you. Rejoice now and be glad, O Zion. You, Pure One, show off, O Mother of God, about the rise of Your Nativity.”

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Lord have mercy. (Thrice)

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Thy Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.

Some believers, in addition to the traditional opening prayers, also read the following lines between the Lord's Prayer and Psalm 51:<.>

excerpts from the prayer to the Most Holy Trinity:

Come, let us worship our King God. (Bow)

Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King God. (Bow)

Come, let us bow and fall down to Christ Himself, the King and our God. (Bow)

Psalm 142

Lord, hear my prayer, inspire my prayer in Thy truth, hear me in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, for every living person will not be justified before You. As if the enemy drove my soul, he humbled my belly to eat, he planted me to eat in dark, like dead centuries. And my spirit is depressed within me, my heart is troubled within me. I have remembered the days of old, I have learned in all Your works, I have learned Your hand in all creation. My hands have lifted up to You, my soul, like a waterless land, has lifted up to You. Hear me soon, Lord, my spirit has disappeared, do not turn Your face away from me, and I will become like those who go down into the pit. I hear Thy mercy upon me in the morning, for I trust in Thee. Tell me, Lord, the way, where I will go, as if I have taken my soul to You. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, I have fled to You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Your good Spirit will guide me to the right land. For Thy name's sake, Lord, live me by Thy righteousness, remove my soul from sorrow, and by Thy mercy consume my enemies and destroy all my cold souls, for I am Thy servant.

Glory, even now. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to You, O God. (Three times with bows)

Lord have mercy (12 times). Glory, even now.

Then the holy troparion twice.

Glory, even now, Theotokos according to the voice of the troparion (Note: The Theotokos is taken in the same voice as the troparion that precedes it).

And the traditional closing prayers are replaced by the following:

Lady, accept the prayer of Your servants and deliver us from all need and sorrow, You are, Mother of God, our weapon and wall, You are our intercessor, and we resort to You, We still call on You for prayer, and deliver us from our enemies. Let us magnify You all, the all-immaculate Mother of Christ God, South of autumn the Holy Spirit. (Bow)

Trisagion. Holy Trinity... Lord, have mercy. (Thrice) Glory, even now. Our Father...

Then they read the troparion, Glory, kontakion, and now, Theotokos.

Lord have mercy (40 times).

And, if desired, one or more prayers. If there is no separate prayer, then you can read the general prayer of the saint.

If we omit prayers, then: Glory to this day.

Then:

We magnify You, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption. (Bow)

Glory (bow), and now (bow). Lord have mercy (three times). God bless. (Bow)

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother, holy martyrs (or holy martyrs, or venerable, or righteous), name and all saints, have mercy and save us, for you are Good and Lover of Mankind. Amen.

Lord have mercy (three times).

If desired, the troparion about health can be read three times:

Merciful Lord, save and have mercy on Your servants, their names (bow). Deliver them from all sorrow, anger and need. (bow), from all illnesses of soul and body (bow). Forgive them for every sin, voluntary or involuntary. (bow), and do something useful for our souls (bow).

In Old Believer churches, before the reading of the canon, the beginning of the seventh worship is also said with additional prayers (before the opening prayer):

God, be merciful to me, a sinner. (Bow)

Having created me, Lord, have mercy on me. (Bow)

Without number of sinners, Lord, have mercy and forgive me, a sinner. (Bow)

It is worthy to eat, as truly, to bless Thee, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and the Mother of our God. Most honorable Cherub, and Most Glorious without comparison Seraphim, without corruption of God the Word

We magnify You, the born, living Mother of God. (Bow to the ground)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Bow)

And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. (Bow)

Lord, have mercy (three times). God bless. (Bow)

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Thy Most Pure Mother, by the power of the Honest and Life-Giving Cross, and my holy Guardian Angel, and for the sake of all the saints, have mercy and save me, a sinner, as I am Good and Lover of Mankind. Amen.
