source of light in every age,
the Virgin conceived and bore your Son
who is called Wonderful God, Prince of Peace.

Loving Mother of the Redeemer

Loving Mother of the Redeemer,
Gate of heaven, star of the sea,
Assist your people
who have fallen yet strive to rise again,
To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator,
yet remained a virgin after as before,
You who received Gabriel's joyful greeting,
have pity on us, poor sinners.

Eastern Prayer to the Mother of God

O most glorious Ever-Virgin Mary,
Mother of Christ our God,
accept our prayers
and present them to thy son and our God,
that He may, for thy sake,
enlighten and save our souls.

Eastern Prayer to the Theotokos

Rejoice Mary, Mother of God,
Virgin, 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 Savior of our souls.
Meet it is in truth, to glorify thee,
O Birth-giver of God,
ever blessed, and all undefiled,
the Mother of our God.
More honorable than the Cherubim,
and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim,
thou who without stain didst bear God the Word,
true Birth-giver of God, we magnify thee.

Eastern Prayer Before an Icon of the Theotokos

Forasmuch as thou art a well-spring of tenderness,
O Theotokos,
make us worthy of compassion;
Look upon a sinful people;
Manifest thy power as ever,
for hoping on thee we cry aloud unto thee:
Hail I as once did Gabriel,
Chief Captain of the Bodiless Powers.

Eastern Prayer of Petition to the Theotokos

O may I obtain this,
most-holy Lady and Birth-giver of God,
through thine intercessions and mediations,
by the grace and exceeding great love
of thine Only-Begotten son,
my Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
to Whom is due,
with the eternal Father
and the All-Holy, Good and Life-Giving Spirit,
all honor and glory and worship,
now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
