Prayer VIII, to our Lord Jesus Christ
O 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 the 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, O Lord, have I hoped, save me.
Prayer IX, to the Most Holy Theotokos
O 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, O Virgin Theotokos, who alone art pure and blessed.
Prayer X, to the Holy Guardian Angel
O 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, 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.
