In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Glory to Thee, our
God, glory to Thee.
Heavenly King, Comforter,
Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere and fillest all things, Treasury
of Blessings and Giver of Life, come and abide in us, and cleanse
us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy
Immortal One, have mercy on us. (thrice)
Glory to the Father, and
to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages
of ages. Amen.
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy
on us. O Lord, wash away our sins, O Master, pardon our transgressions.
O Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy Name's sake.
Lord have mercy (thrice).
Glory to the Father, and to
the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of
ages. Amen.
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive
us our debs as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Having arisen from sleep,
I thank Thee, O All-holy Trinity, for in Thy great goodness and
patience Thou wast not angry with me, Thy sinful and slothful
servant; nor hast Thou destroyed me in my iniquities, but hast
shown customary Thy love toward me, and when I was lying in despair,
Thou hast raised me up to glorify Thine unconquerable dominion.
And now, most holy God and Master, enlighten my mind to understand
Thy words, teach me Thy commandments, help me to do Thy will,
praising always in my heart Thine All-holy Name: of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto
ages of ages. Amen.
Having arisen from sleep I
hasten to Thee, O Lord lover of mankind, and by Thy loving-kindness
I strive to accomplish Thy work. Help me, I pray to Thee, at all
times and in all things. Deliver me from every evil thing of this
world and from attacks of the devil. Save me and lead me into
Thine eternal Kingdom. For Thou art my Creator, the Giver and
Provider of everything good. All my hope is in Thee and I glorify
Thee, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
O Holy Angel of God, guardian
and protector of my soul and body, forgive me every transgration
which I have committed this day. Deliver me from all evil influences
and temptations, so that I may not anger my God by any sin. Pray
for me that the Lord may make me worthy of His grace and to become
partaker of His eternal Kingdom with the help of the Blessed Virgin
Mary and of all the Saints. Amen.
O Lord, save Thy people and
bless Thine inheritance. Grant victory to the Orthodox Christians
over their adversaries; and by virtue of Thy Cross preserve Thy
habitation.
O Lord our God, in Thy goodness
and love for mankind forgive me all the sins which I have committed
today in word, deed or thought. Grant me peaceful and undisturbed
sleep. Send me Thy guardian Angel to protect and preserve me from
all evil. For Thou art the Guardian of our souls and bodies, and
unto Thee we ascribe glory, to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
It is truly meet to bless
Thee, O Theotokos, the ever blessed and most immaculate, and the
Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim and more glorious
beyond compare than the Seraphim. Thee who without defilement
gave birth to God the Word, the true Mother of God, we magnify
Thee.
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light: true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man; And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried; And arose again on the third day according to the Scriptures; And ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father; And shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And
in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life; Who proceeds
from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped
and glorified; Who spake by the prophets. In One, Holy, Catholic,
and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission
of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, And the life
of the age to come. Amen.
O Lord and Master of my life, drive away from me the spirit of idleness, despondency, ambition and idle talk. (Prostration).
But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to Thy servant. (Prostration).
Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see mine own transgrations and not to judge my brother, for Thou art blessed unto ages of ages. Amen. (Prostration).
