The Daily Prayer of Hieroschemamonk Parthenios
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, do not permit vanity, self-love,
sensuality, carelessness, anger to rule over me and steal me from
Thy love, O my Lord and Creator, all my hope! Do not leave me
without a portion of the blessed eternity. Grant also that I may
follow Thy Holy example.. that I may submit to the authorities
placed over me. Grant me the clean soul, the simplicity of heart;
which makes us worthy of Thy love.
To Thee, my God, I lift up my soul and heart; do not allow Thy
creation to perish, but free me from the single and greatest enemy ...
sin. Grant, Lord, that I may endure anxiety and sorrows of the soul
with the same patience as the joy with which I receive satisfaction of
heart. If Thou desirest, Lord, Thou canst cleanse me and sanctify me.
Here I commit myself to Thy mercy... begging Thee to destroy
within me all that is offensive to Thee, and to unite me to the
assembly of Thy chosen.
Lord, take from me: idleness of spirit, which destroys time;
vanity of thoughts, which hinders Thy presence and distracts my
attention to prayer. If, while in prayer, I turn away from Thee in my
thoughts, help me; so that this distraction may not be willful, and
that - averting my mind - I may not avert my heart from Thee. I
confess to Thee, my Lord God, all the sins of my wickedness
committed before Thee, now and in the past. Forgive me for them,
for the sake of Thy Holy Name, and save my soul, which thou has
redeemed with Thy precious Blood. I entrust myself to Thy mercy. I
submit to Thy will. Do with me according to Thy mercy and not
according to my evil and wickedness
