Mary,
Most Holy, and
Mother of my God.
My model,
My refuge, and
My love.
I seek, and
With humility, I ask
To approach your Life-Giving Spring?
With all my heart,
I pray...
Revive,
Restore, and
Renew me.
"O Lady graced by God, you reward me by letting gush forth, beyond reason, the ever-flowing waters of your grace from your perpetual Spring. I entreat you, who bore the Logos, in a manner beyond comprehension, to refresh me in your grace that I may cry out, 'Hail redemptive waters'.”
- From a kontakion (a hymn), which is chanted on Bright Friday after Pascha
