¶4

Theotokion: O all-immaculate Theotokos, we beseech thee: In behalf of thy servants entreat Him Who became incarnate through thee, for we acknowledge thee alone as our intercessor.

Healing him who suffered pain of heart, from thine eyes thou didst pour forth tears of loving-kindness, interceding for orphans and widows, O glorious Job.
