To the good members of the Forum:

Glory to Jesus Christ!

Here is a nice prayer that I received from the Byzantine Nuns of Saint Clare. I am sure that many of you will enjoy it.

Hail Virgin Theotokos, full of grace!

O Protectress of mankind, you are the haven and hope of the human race. Protect us beneath the tent of your mantle. We ask peace for the world and mercy for our souls.

Kondakion:

The Virgin stands over the Church today, and invisibly prays to God in the company of angels and saints. The apostles sing their praises with the prophets, because the Mother of God prays to God for us!
