Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos before the Miraculous Zarvanytsia Icon

To the place of God's favor I have come to visit You, Mother of mercy. Grant me, O Most Pure Virgin, Mother of our land, that healed by the Lord, I may see the greatness of Heavenly grace given to You by God, the incomprehensible glory of the Lord, and Your ineffable mercy, and consequently, God's. Behold, the infirm—through Your intercession before Your Son—receive health from Him; the sorrowful flee to God through You; all who praise Him in prayers and seek Your Heavenly protection find relief.

Following their example, I, imperfect and sinful, flee through Your intercession, O Most Blessed One, to the Almighty in hope of His mercy and His ineffable grace. Help me and intercede for me, unworthy as I am, before the throne of Your Son, that He may transform the just wrath I have deserved for my transgressions into His mercy and forgiveness. Do not let me perish in my sins, but from the fountain of Christ's grace, grant me, who asks, help now, and especially at the hour of my death. Amen.
