Rejoice O Mary

Rejoice, Mary, handmaiden and mother, for the angels praise Him who is in your arms, 

And the cherubim worthily worship Him; the seraphim too, without ceasing. 

We have no boldness before our Lord Jesus Christ apart from 1 your prayers and intercessions, O our Lady, the Lady of us all, the Theotokos. 

We ask You, O Son of God, to keep the life of our patriarch, Pope Abba Tawadros, the archpriest. Confirm him upon his throne.

And his partner in the [apostolic] liturgy, our holy righteous father, Abba Youssef the metropolitan. Confirm him upon his throne. 

That we may praise You with the cherubim and the seraphim, proclaiming and saying: 

Holy, holy, holy, O Lord, the Pantocrator, heaven and earth are full of Your glory and Your honor.
