The Mother of God, our hope
Translation and adaptation:
The Mother of God is hope: ‘All my hope I place in thee, O Mother of God: keep me under thy protection!’
What is the Mother of God for us? She is our hope, another hope! For we have the help of the Mother of God. And if we experienced her help, her defence, her protection, her intercession, and her prayers, we have more hope than usual.
The Mother of God is hope: ‘All my hope I place in thee, O Mother of God: keep me under thy protection!’
(Translated from Arhimandrit Teofil Părăian, Maica Domnului - Raiul de taină al ortodoxiei, Editura Eikon, Cluj-Napoca, 2003, pp. 34-35)
