Prayer before the icon "The Word Was Made Flesh" (March 9/22)

O Virgin Mother of God, Immaculate Mother of Christ our God, Protectress of the Christian race! Standing before Thy miraculous icon, our fathers pray to Thee, that Thou mayest manifest Thy protection and intercession for the land of the Amur region. By the same we now pray to Thee: Preserve our city and this country from the presence of foreigners and preserve it from civil strife. Grant the world peace, the abundance of fruits of the earth, preserve in holiness our pastors, in the holy temples of those who labor, in the autumn of Thy all-sovereign protection the builders and benefactors of their benefactors. Strengthen our brethren in orthodoxy and like-mindedness; Enlighten those who have erred and apostatized from the Orthodox faith and unite Thy Son to the Holy Church. Be to all who come to Thy miraculous icon protection, consolation, and refuge from all evils, troubles, and circumstances: for Thou art the healing of the sick, the consolation of the afflicted, the correction and admonition of the erring. Accept our prayers and lift me up to the Throne of the Most High, that by Thy intercession we may be kept and overshadowed by Thy protection, let us glorify the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer before the Theodore Icon (March 14/27)

Troparion, tone 4:

By the coming of Thy honorable icon, O Virgin of God, the God-preserved city of Kostroma, as ancient Israel to the nod of the covenant, flows to the image of Thy face and our God incarnate from Thee, that through Thy Mother's intercession Thou mayest ever intercede for all who seek peace and great mercy under the shadow of Thy roof.

Kontakion, tone 1:

To the Blessed Commander, the Most Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, our Intercessor and the Unashamed Intercession of Christians, Who by the appearance of Her wondrous icon gave joy to the land of Russia and enlightened all the faithful children of the Church, we fervently offer thanksgiving to Thee, O Theotokos, and to Thy wondrous image, we speak with tenderness. Save, O Lady, and have mercy on Thy servants, who call: Rejoice, Mother of God, our zealous Intercessor and Intercessor.

Prayer:

To whom shall I cry, O Lady, to whom shall I run in my sorrow; to whom shall I bring my tears and sighs, if not to Thee, Queen of Heaven and earth: who shall pluck me out of the mire of sins and iniquities, if not Thee, O Mother of Life, Intercessor and Refuge of the human race? Hear my groaning, console me and have mercy on me in my sorrow, protect me in troubles and misfortunes, deliver me from bitterness and sorrows, and all kinds of infirmities and illnesses, from enemies visible and invisible, pacify the enmity of those who chill me, that I may be delivered from the slander and malice of men; Thou hast freed me from my abominable customs from my flesh. Hide me under the shadow of Thy mercy, that I may find peace and joy and purification from sins. To Thy Mother's intercession I entrust myself; Be to me, Mother, and hope, protection, and help, and intercession, joy and consolation, and the quick Helper in all things.

O wondrous Lady! Everyone flows to Thee, without Thy almighty help he does not depart; For this reason and I, who am unworthy, I run to Thee, that I may be delivered from sudden and cruel death, gnashing of teeth and eternal torment. And I shall be vouchsafed to receive the Heavenly Kingdom, and to Thee in the tenderness of my heart I shall be vouchsafed a river: Rejoice, Mother of God, our zealous Intercessor and Intercessor, unto the ages of ages. Amen.

O All-Merciful Lady, Queen Theotokos, chosen from all generations and blessed by all heavenly generations! Look mercifully upon these people standing before Thy holy icon, fervently praying to Thee, and do it through Thy intercession and intercession with Thy Son and our God, that no one may depart from this place of his hope and be put to shame in his hope, but let him receive from Thee all according to the good will of his heart, according to his need and need, for the salvation of the soul and for the health of the body.
