+ 1ST Of My Poems Constellated Orthodox; Тропарь To The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother Of God

From your womb, most Holy and Sovereign Theotokos,

Mary---Mother of God; Mother of Christ; Mother of Jesus---

the greatest and most glorious Star, the Bright One, the

Morning One, has emerged to achieve and accomplish the

redemption of His People; He, Who by His Death has

trampled down and stomped to fragments the claims of

Sin, Death, and the Grave upon all of us who look to

Him, and believe upon Him, for the certainty of assured

Salvation. In the infinite effulgence of His Mercy

toward us, He has proven His love for you, His Blessed

Mother, by the Graces He has given you to distribute

among the Orthodox Christian people who rejoice with

you in Him.
