Another Prayer, To the Most Holy Theotokos:
All-holy Lady, Theotokos, light of my darkened soul, my hope,
protection, refuge, consolation, my joy; I thank thee that thou hast
vouchsafed me, who am unworthy, to be a partaker of the most pure
Body and precious Blood of thy Son. O thou who gavest birth to the true
Light, do thou enlighten the spiritual eyes of my heart; thou who didst
gavest birth to the Source of Immortality, revive me who am dead in sin;
thou who art the loving-compassionately Mother of the merciful God,
have mercy on me and grant me compunction and contrition in my heart,
and humility in my thoughts, and the recall of my thoughts from their
captivity. And vouchsafe me until my last breath to receive without
condemnation the sanctification of the most Pure Mysteries for the
healing of soul and body; And grant me tears of repentance and
confession, with which to hymn and glorify thee all the days of my life;
For blessed and glorified art Thou unto the ages. Amen.
Then:
Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, O Master, according to
Thy word: for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast
prepared before the face of all peoples; a light of revelation for the
Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal : have mercy on us
Thrice.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: now and
ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins.
Master, Pardon our iniquities. Holy God, 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 the heavens, 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead
us not into temptation. but deliver us from the Evil One.
