Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in you mercy hear and answer me.

O Mother of the word Incarnate!

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, come to each of us today; help us to know and love Jesus your son as you did.

The Lusitanian Orthodox Church has always believed that the Mother of God (Theodokos) is the highest person above all humanity and the angels owing to her role as Mother of the Word Incarnate.
