Entreat the Mother of Light , the immaculate Theotokos , to help you ... ( Elder Ephraim of Arizona )

Entreat the Mother of Light , the immaculate Theotokos , to help you , for she is the greatest means of consolation after God.

When a person calls upon her holy name , he immediately senses her help. She is a mother; when she was on earth , as a human being and fellow-sufferer she suffered the same things we do, and for this reason, she has great sympathy for pained souls and swiftly comes to help them.
