At the Aposticha, Glory..., in Tone V—
Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen
With what praises shall we honor you, O venerable ones? What hymns shall we sing to you, who from your youth gave your life over to Christ, and emulated the feats of him who is the greatest of those born of woman? The mind is not able, and every tongue that speaketh boastful words falleth silent, yet our hearts are inflamed all the more with eagerness; wherefore, we entreat you: Instead of hymns accept our faith and love.
Now & ever..., Theotokion, or this stavrotheotokion, in the same tone—
Troparion, in Tone IV—
Let us all weep and lift up our hands; and let us beat our breast, weeping fervently, bending our knees, earnestly beating our face against the ground; and let us sigh toward the heights of heaven, for we have angered God with unseemly deeds and by rejecting His commandments. Yet do we cry out: “Through the intercession of Thy Mother at the judgment which is to come, deliver us, who have grieved Thee yet repent; for for us didst Thou become incarnate and endure the Cross; and cause us to share in Thy kingdom.”
O God of our fathers, deal ever with us according to Thy gentleness; take not Thy mercy from us, but by their supplications direct our life in peace.
