Prayer VIII, to our Lord Jesus Christ
0 Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, for the sake of Thy most honorable Mother, and Thy
bodiless angels, Thy Prophet and Forerunner and Baptist, the God-Inspired apostles, the
radiant and victorious martyrs, the holy and God-bearing fathers, and through the
intercessions of all the saints, deliver me from the besetting presence of the demons.
Yea, my Lord and Creator, Who desirest not the death of a sinner, but rather that he be
converted and live, grant conversion also to me, wretched and unworthy; rescue me
from the mouth of the pernicious serpent who is yawning to devour me and take me
down to hades alive. Yea, my Lord, my Comfort, Who for my miserable sake wast
clothed in corruptible flesh, draw me out of misery, and grant comfort to my miserable
soul. Implant in my heart to fulfill Thy commandments, and to forsake evil deeds, and to
obtain Thy blessings; for in Thee, 0 Lord, have I hoped, save me.
Prayer IX, to the Most Holy Theotokos
0 good Mother of the Good King, most pure and blessed Theotokos Mary, do thou pour
out the mercy of thy Son and our God upon my passionate soul, and by Thine
intercessions guide me unto good works, that I may pass the remaining time of my life
without blemish, and attain paradise through thee, 0 Virgin Theotokos, who alone art
pure and blessed.
Prayer X, to the Holy Guardian Angel
0 Angel of Christ, my holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me all
wherein I have sinned this day, and deliver me from all opposing evil of mine enemy
lest I anger my God by any sin. Pray for me, a sinful and unworthy servant,
It
that thou
mayest show me forth worthy of the kindness and mercy of the All-holy Trinity, and of
the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ, and of all the saints.
Amen.
