Troparion and Kontakion to the Theotokos of Fatima

Theotokos of Fatima by the hand of DJ Shulick

Troparion, tone 6

O most holy Theotokos and Mother of God / you appeared in an age of war and upheaval to warn of worse calamities / should mankind not repent of its evils and return to the way of truth. / But if our fallen race were to humble itself and return to its Maker, you announced a heavenly blessing: / world peace and the conversion of the Russian people to Catholic unity. / Teach us your servants, O blessed Maiden / to abase ourselves before God the Father / and beseech His mercy for the wickedness and errors of all mankind. / May we strive through the grace of the Holy Spirit to imitate your perfect virtues / and conform ourselves to your surpassing holiness, O all-immaculate One. / And pray for us to Christ your Son and our God / that He may have mercy on us and save our souls!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. / Now and ever, and forever. Amen.

Kontakion, tone 6

O ever-blessed Virgin, purest of all creation / you are the model of every virtue. / Inspire us by example to imitate your supreme humility/ that we might know ourselves as we really are. / And enlightened of our true state before God and man / may we repent and beg mercy for our transgressions / and embrace our brothers in the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Orthodox faith. / By your ceaseless intercessions for sinful mankind / before the heavenly throne of the Most Holy Trinity / shower on us who seek the path of reconciliation the peace which only comes from on high, / so that we live in harmony and concord / the wars of Russia and the nations may cease / and the schisms in the churches may be healed. / For your greatly exalted name is praised and glorified forever!
