me from holy Baptism for the protection of my sinful body and soul. By my
laziness and bad habits, I have angered thy most pure light, and have driven
thee away from me by all my shameful deeds, lies, slander, envy,
condemnation, scorn, disobedience, hatred of brother, grudges, avarice,
adultery, anger, meanness, greed, gluttony, drunkenness, loquacity, negative
and evil thoughts, proud ways, having self-will in all the desires of the flesh.
O my evil will, which even the dumb animals do not follow! How canst thou
look at me or approach me! With what eyes, O Angel of Christ, wilt thou
look at me so badly snared in vile deeds? How can I ask forgiveness for my
bitter, evil and wicked deeds, into which I fall every day and night, and
every hour? But falling down, I pray to thee, O my holy Guardian: pity me,
thy sinful and unworthy servant (Name). Be my helper and protector against
my wicked enemy, by thy holy prayers, and make me a partaker of the
Kingdom of God with all the Saints, always, now and ever, and unto the
ages of ages. Amen.
