["Υπεραγια Θεοτοκε, σοσον ημας"] never occurred to me that I was [heretical], or would be thought to be, asking her to do for me what Christ does until a convert asked me about it a few years ago

I think your level of catechisis and theological understanding is not the level of an average parishioner, Kolo mou.

PS BTW, the vocative case ending in Slavonic for "Υπεραγια Θεοτοκε" is also "e" (Пресветая Богородице). I wonder if that is by coincidence or by design.

I am, Αδελφέ μου, merely the simple grandson of simple Greek peasants!

Likely another bad habit you folks picked up from us! Off to the DL....
