daring and incomprehensible as it is to search out Celestial Heights, and the depths of the sea, so is it impossible to number the stars and the sand of the shores. Similarly, no one is able to explain the Theologian or the many Crowns with which Christ has adorned His beloved one who leaned upon His Chest and ate with Him at the Mystical Supper, AS
A THEOLOGIAN AND FRIEND OF CHRIST.

Ina evharistos, proskinon animno Sou, tin ametron dinamin, ke tin Thian antilipsin. Panagia Theonimfe, presvevousa Hristo to Theo, iper ou etome Se, dothine mi, ilasmon martion, ke to Mega Eleos.
remember the Judgement,and I am afraid, having committed shameful deeds, as lowly as I am. And therefore I pray to Thee, O All Lauded Theotokos: before the Night of Death overcomes me, make me convert, and guide me to the Way of Repentance and Remedy, so that I may worship Thine Immeasurable Power and gratefully sing in praise of the Help I receive from Thee. O All Holy Bride of God: Intercede
Parthene Mitir Theou, tis psihis mou ta pathi ta halepa, therapefson deome, ke singnomin parashou mi, ton emon ptesmaton, afronos on epraxa, tin psihin ke to soma, molinas O Athlios. Imi! Ti piiso, en ekini ti ora, inika i Angeli, tin psihin mou horizousin, ek tou athliou mou somatos? Tote Despina, voithia mi genou, ke prostatis thermotatos. Se gar eho elpida O doulos Sou.
All Holy Virgin Mother of God, cure the terrible passions afflicting my soul, I earnestly pray to Thee, and to me grant forgiveness for the many offences I have mindlessly committed, thus defiling my body and soul, wretched as I am. Alas! How I shudder at the thought of that Hour when Angels will separate my soul from my body. Alas! What shall become of me? O Lady, hence I pray Thou will come to my Aid as Ardent Patroness: I, Thine unworthy servant, have Thee as my Only Hope.
