Hymn to the Mother of God
To the Theotokos, let us run now most fervently, as sinners and lowly ones. Let us fall down in repentance, crying from the depths of our soul: Lady, come and help us, have compassion upon us; hasten now for we are lost, in the host of our errors. Do not turn your servants away, for you alone are a hope to us.

Join us online to pray the Small Paraklesis (service of supplication) to the

Most Holy Theotokos 

Join us this evening via our live stream to pray the supplication service of the Small Paraklesis to the Mother of God, for her intercessions and protection, and for the health and salvation of her people.

This service is called the Paraklesis, or Supplication, because the faithful ask and pray to the Theotokos, the Mother of God, that she may pray to her Son and our God on our behalf.  We ask for her help for anything burdening us; for our salvation, health, and protection, for our community, civil authorities, and for all those around us.  Since the 800s, this prayer to the Mother of God has been prayed.  Now more than ever, let us lift up our voices with the angelic choir to ask for the prayers and intercessions from the Mother of God.
 
"Deliver us, all of your servants from danger, O Theotokos; After God, we all flee to you for shelter and covering, as an unshakable wall and our protection!"

Please join us virtually at 6:00 pm to pray the supplication service of the Small Paraklesis to the Theotokos.
