“Jerusalem” Icon of the Mother of God - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 3
With the certainty of your intercession for us, O Sovereign Lady, / and the merciful appearance of your Jerusalem Icon, / before which we pour out our souls in prayer, we cry out to you with faith: / “O Merciful one, behold your people: / we beseech you to assuage all our tribulations and sorrows, / grant blessed consolation to our hearts and the eternal salvation of our souls, O Most Pure one.”
Kontakion — Tone 5
O Merciful Mother, do not reject our tears and lamentations, / but in your compassion, / accept the petitions of your people who pray before your Jerusalem Icon; / strengthen their faith, / fill them with humility of heart, / and help them to bear the cross of earthly life, / for you may do whatever you wish.
