I found some here.

Do i have to read a set of “praises” like an akathist to the most holy theotokos ? I will be doing this in private devotion.

This is just a guess, but I do not think that you have to use them as part of any particular service, since you already take part in the moleben service by using them (in some sense anyway). Saying/chanting a prayer in honor of the Theotokos for 40 days sounds like a wonderful idea, however. This is my very personal thought, but doing it for 40 days in-between The Nativity of Jesus Christ and The Presentation of Christ in the Temple would be symbolically nice, especially if you are Catholic (Candle Mass, right?).

Thank you Lasse, what a great idea!
