forsake not me a sinner, nor shrink from me because of mine
intemperance. Give no place for the cunning demon to master me through
the violence of my mortal body, strengthen my poor and feeble hand, and
guide me in the way of salvation. Yea, O holy angel of God, guardian and
protector of my wretched soul and body, forgive me all wherein I have
offended thee all the days of my life; and if I have sinned during the past
night, protect me during the present day, and guard me from every
temptation of the enemy, that I may not anger God by any sin. And pray to
the Lord for me, that He may establish me in His fear, and show me, His
servant, to be worthy of His goodness. Amen.
prayers, banish from me, thy lowly and wretched servant, despondency,
forgetfulness, folly, carelessness, and all filthy, evil, and blasphemous
thoughts from my wretched heart and my darkened mind. And quench the
flame of my passions, for I am poor and wretched, and deliver me from
many and cruel memories and deeds, and free me from all their evil
effects. For blessed art thou by all generations, and glorified is thy most
honourable name unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Thee, the speedy helper and intercessor for my soul.
