O Fervent intercessor, Mother of the Lord Most High, thou prayest for all to thy Son, Christ our God, and thou causest all to be saved who have recourse to thy powerful protection. O Sovereign Lady and Queen, help and defend all of us who in troubles and trials, in pain and burdened with many sins, stand before thy most pure icon in thy presence, and pray to thee with compunction of soul, contrition of heart, and with tears, and who have unflagging hope in thee. Grant to all what is good for us, deliverance from all evil, and save us all, O Virgin Theotokos, for thou art a divine protection to thy servants.

Let us run, O ye peoples, to that quiet and good haven, to the speedy helper, to the ready and warm salvation, to the Virgin's protection. Let us hurry to prayer and hasten to repentance; for the most pure Theotokos poureth out of us unfailing mercy, anticipateth our needs with her help, and delivereth from great disasters and evils her upright and God-fearing servants.

O Lady graced by God, you reward me by letting gush forth, beyond reason, the ever-flowing waters of your grace from your perpetual Spring. I entreat you, who bore the Logos, in a manner beyond comprehension, to refresh me in your grace that I may cry out, "Hail redemptive waters."

O Theotokos, your church is like the Garden of Paradise, since it pours out healings and cures like ever-living rivers. We come to it with faith, and we draw strength and eternal life from its water, through you who are the Spring that received Life himself. For you intercede with Christ our Savior, who was born from you, and you entreat Him to save our souls.

Well this is cool #medieval news! As one of the researchers, Artur Obluski, says on Twitter, 'Seems that gods of excavations favoured us in the very last season of ERC_Research #Umma grant . We found not only the stone blocks from walls and floor of a #Napatan temple of #Amun of #GemAton #Kawa but also enigmatic complex of chambers covered with wall paintings and inscriptions dated probably to around 1276 CE One of the paintings presents king David of Makuria in intimate and dynamic scene with #archangel Michael and #Christ kissing the hand of the latter and probably begging for protection of the city of #Tungul (Old Dongola) against the wrath of #Mamluks unique for #Christian art The other painting shows #MotherOfGod in a unique, uncommon way and as far as I'm concerned unknown in #Christian #iconography holding a book in one and a cross in other hand and dressed in kind of monochromatic greyish robe".

Today is the fountainhead of our salvation and the manifestation of the mystery which was from eternity. The Son of God becometh the Virgin's Son and Gabriel announceth the good tidings of grace; Therefore, let us cry to the Mother of God with the Angel: Rejoice, O woman, full of grace; the Lord is with thee! #TheAnnunciationOfTheVirginMary #Theotokos #BlessedVirginMary #VirginMary #MotherOfGod #MaterDei

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary! that never was it known that anyone that fled to thy protection, implored thy help and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother! To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and she conceived of the Holy Ghost.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with you blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, holy Mary mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done unto me according to thy word.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with you blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, holy Mary mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with you blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, holy Mary mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

V. Pray for us, holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Amen.

“The Virgin Mary kept all these things in her heart, meditating on them in silence. She had so well absorbed God’s message that even St Joseph was unaware of it and an angel had to come to him in the silence of the night...”
