Oh, All-Merciful Virgin Mary, Mother of generosity and love for mankind, my most beloved hope and hope! Oh, Mother of the sweet, most beloved and surpassing all love of the Savior Jesus Christ, Lover of mankind and my God, the light of my darkened soul! I, sinful and hopeless, fall to You, my source of mercy, Virgin Mary, who gave birth to the abyss of mercy and the abyss of generosity and philanthropy; Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, I cry out to You painfully, have mercy on me, all the wounded, who fell into the cruel robbers and from the clothes, the Father clothed me in nakedness, alas for me, naked. Therefore, I lie naked from all goodness, my wounds become stale and rotten from the face of my madness. My Lady Theotokos, I humbly pray to You, look at me with Your merciful eye, and do not disdain me, all darkened, all defiled, all immersed in the mire of pleasures and passions, fallen in the cruelty and unable to rise. Have mercy on me, and give me a helping hand, raise me from the depths of sin, oh my joy, deliver me from those who have bypassed me; enlighten Thy face upon Thy servant, save the perishing, cleanse the defiled, raise up the fallen: for thou canst do all things, as thou art the Mother of the Almighty God. Pour upon me the oil of Thy mercy and give me the wine of tenderness: for You truly have the only hope of gain in my belly; do not reject me, who flows to You, but see my sorrow, O Virgin, and the desire of my soul, and accept this and save me, the Intercessor of my salvation. Amen.

On Monday

From foul lips, accept the prayer, O undefiled, pure and most pure Virgin Mary, and do not disdain my words, O my joy, but look upon me, have mercy, Mother of my Creator! During my life, do not leave me: know, O Lady, for I place all my hope in You, and all my hope is in You. Thus, at the time of my death, stand before me, my Helper, and do not disgrace me then. We know, we know, Virgin, that I am guilty of many sins, accursed, and I tremble, thinking about this hour: but, my Joy, then show me Thy face, surprise me with Thy mercy, the Intercessor of my salvation; Save me, O Lady, from the cruelty of demons, and the terrible and formidable test of the air spirits, and deliver them from their malice, and turn all the sorrow and sadness of that time into joy through Your enlightenment. And make me worthy to safely pass over the beginnings and powers of darkness and reach to bow on the throne of glory to the seated Christ and our God with His beginningless Father and the Most Holy Spirit, forever. Amen.

On Tuesday

Oh, my Most Holy Lady Theotokos, most honorable of Angels and Archangels, Cherubim and Seraphim, and most holy of all saints, Virgin Mother of God! Save me, Thy humble and sinful servant: You weigh, all-merciful Lady, for I place all my hope in God on You, and I have no other saving refuge, except You, the All-Blessed One: You are my fortress, Lady, You are my strength, You My joy in sorrows, You are my refuge in temptations, You are my correction in falls. You and my all-reliable salvation, O Mother of my Creator and Lord. Help me, floating in the abyss of this life, fiercely overwhelmed and in distress from the drowning of sin. Give me a helping hand, my assistant, and deliver me from the troubles of the depths, so that I do not wallow in the abyss of despair: a storm of sins and passions has arisen against me, and waves of iniquity are plunging me. But You, merciful Mother, instruct and save me in the haven of dispassion, the hopeless hope and intercessor of my salvation. Amen.

On Wednesday

Mother of God, You are my hope, You are a wall and a reliable refuge and a saving refuge for those who are weary of passions. Save me from all my enemies who persecute my soul and catch me with various temptations on this path, which I walk on, and many nets have hidden me; Many temptations, many inconveniences, many delights, many mental and physical weaknesses trap me in the fall of sin. And already I, the accursed one, have fallen into the net of the enemy, and am bound and held by them: and what will I do, the desperate one, I am perplexed. Even if I desire to repent, I am overcome by insensibility and bitterness; If you are forced to cry, there is no heartfelt contrition and not a single drop of tears. Alas, my woe! alas, my poverty! alas, my deprivation! To whom shall I resort for other guilt? Only to You, blessed Mother of our Lord and Savior, the unreliable hope, wall and protection of those who flow to You! Do not reject me, the prodigal, do not disdain me, the filthy one: for You alone have the joy of gain in my life, Virgin Mary Theotokos, and to You alone in every need I run with boldness: do not forsake me in this life and at the time of my death appear to help my helper, so that all my enemies will see Thee and be ashamed of being conquered by Thee, the Lady, the intercessor of my salvation. Amen.

Who can please You, O Most Holy Virgin, whose lips are capable of singing Your greatness, which surpasses all meaning? All the glorious sacraments performed for You, Mother of God, are beyond meaning and words: the Cherubim were amazed at the beauty of Your virginity and Your radiant purity and the Seraphim were horrified; Neither human nor angelic tongue can utter the miracle of Your birth, which is incorruptible. From You is the flightless and only-begotten Son of God, God the Word, ineffably incarnate, born and living with man; and Thee, as Thy Mother, greatly exalt thee, the Queen of thee to all creation, the refuge known to us for salvation. Those who come under Your roof, overcome by various sorrows and illnesses, receive rich consolation and healing from You, and are saved from troubles by You: for You are truly the Mother of all who mourn and are burdened, joy of the sad, healer of the sick, guardian of the young, the rod of old age, the righteous praise, hope of salvation for sinners and a guide to repentance: you have always helped everyone through Your intercession and interceded for everyone, O All-Good One, who resort to You with faith and love. Help me too, desperate for my deeds. O zealous intercessor of the Christian race, intercede for me, so that I will not completely perish in sins, for I have no other refuge and protection than You, the Lady of the Mother of the Life: do not forsake me, do not despise me, but in the image of Your own destinies, save me, for you are blessed forever and ever. Amen.

On Friday

I commend my life to you for protection and, according to God, I place all the hope of my salvation on you, the Lady Virgin Mary.

Stretch out Thy right hand, O Pure One, free me from the trouble of my deeds and place me in the pure pasture of the commandments of Christ, my King and God, that I may do everlastingly, strengthened by You. Deliver me from my cruel sins, O Lady, and send down saving repentance to me, to Your Son and God through Your Mother’s intercession. The ineffable light that has risen, enlighten my spiritual darkness, the sins that have come to it, My Joy, deliver me from the invisible enemies who have surrounded me; for my sins are many and grave, attack my fiercely, death is near, my conscience convicts me, fiery Gehenna frightens me, the inexhaustible worm, the gnashing of teeth, the pitch darkness of Tartarus makes me tremble, for they are waiting for me to be accepted, for the sake of my evil deeds, Woe to me ! What will I do then and to whom will I resort, may my soul be saved! To You alone, sweet Mary Theotokos, who sweetens the sorrow of death to those who trust in You, and delivers those who cry to You from the cruelty of hell. Help me too, O All-Blessed One, who at that time had no other help except You, O All-Singing One. Save me from the horrors of the hour of death and the cruelty of demons then, save me from the power of evil spirits in the aerial ordeals after death: show me, I pray to You, then show me Your bright face, Lady, and do not leave me helpless. Oh, merciful Mother! Bow down for mercy to me, deprived of mercy from my deeds, and beg Him to give birth to the flesh of Christ, our Savior and God, who poured out His most pure blood on the cross for our sake, so that I will be a partaker of the merits of His cross before His Father and for their sake I will receive forgiveness of sins and eternal salvation and glorify Your ineffable mercy, Mother of God, and Your merciful intercession to endless ages.

She, my Lady, do not allow my soul to see the terrible and formidable punishment and demonic torture prepared for sinners, but foresee and save me Your servant in that terrible hour, so that I may glorify You forever, my only hope and the Intercessor of my salvation.

How to pray to the Virgin Mary?

Prayers to the Queen of Heaven work miracles, even if they are said mentally and not in a temple, but with all your heart. And yet, a prayer conversation with the Virgin Mary, according to church order, will have greater power. Simple canonical norms in prayer appeals to the Mother of God will help you gain great strength and achieve what you want:

• Before asking the Virgin Mary to change your life for the better, you need to read repentant, soul-cleansing prayers for several days. One of the best prayers of repentance to the Mother of God is “Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos on Sunday.”
• The prayer can be read anywhere. The main thing is that it is calm and quiet, and that you have an icon or amulet of the Virgin Mary with you. Of course, if possible, it is better to visit the temple and turn to the prayed icons.
• If there are no clear instructions for prayer regarding the timing of reading, you can pray to the Mother of God at any time, but it is better if it is at certain hours, for example, morning and evening. You should not read the prayer incessantly. The main thing is not the number of approaches, but the quality of faith and sincerity.
• The words of the prayer do not need to be specially memorized. With repeated reading, they themselves will be remembered. If prayers from sacred sources are difficult to read and understand, you can ask the clergy to paraphrase their meaning. Prayer requests to the Virgin Mary are also allowed in understandable language. The essence of prayer is not so much in words as in feelings and experiences.

Prayer for help in a difficult life situation

No person thinks about life's difficulties until he himself encounters them. Therefore, most often unpleasant situations unsettle a person for a long time and disturb his peace of mind. And the longer unresolved problems influence the life of a man or woman, the more difficult it is to get rid of them later.

Sometimes it gets to the point where people stop resisting and just go with the flow, trying not to notice troubles. But if the mind and body can still somehow isolate themselves from such a situation, then the soul will constantly feel the negativity that is present in a person’s life. Only a sincere appeal to the Almighty can bring relief in this case.

So:

• Lord the great God and the Blessed Virgin, I pray to you for help and protection
• Remember me, an earthly sinner, and send me forgiveness of my sins.
• Deliver me from bad thoughts and wrong actions
• I pray you give me a share of happiness and a calm life
• Hear my words and speeches and give a sign that you forgive your servant (name)
• I pray, Lord, deliver me from temptations, illnesses and earthly sorrows
• Give me the love of my family, teach me wisdom and humility
• May God grant you the strength to survive all troubles and bad weather and walk your earthly path with dignity
• In the name of the Father and the Holy Spirit. Amen
