God,
Make me an instrument of your world
And let me transform:
hate in Love,

Doubt in faith,
Despair in hope,
darkness in light,
And sadness in joy.

Oh Divine Sovereign,

not seek understanding, but understand;
not looking for love, but be in love.
Because when I give, I receive
Forgiveness - find forgiveness
And when I die, I am born to Eternal Life.

Call of Love

My Heavenly Father and Mother!
I call you here, to our monastery,
Come to the children of the suffering Earth,
Pour grace into a clean cup.
We want to touch your tender hands
And take the Light from the Eyes into your own eyes,
Forgetting about millions of years of separation,
We want to cuddle up to the chest and hug.
We hear your voice from the depths,
What people once called conscience.
We were born in eternal happiness,
But we were carried away by other worlds.

My True Father,
I trust in You alone
And I pray you, Lord,
Only about the salvation of his soul,
May Your Holy Will be done.
Strengthening me on this path,
For life without You is an empty moment.
And only in Your service is Eternal life.
Amen.

“Despite the fact that there were no more people, Sensei was in no hurry to go home, as if waiting for someone. Fifteen minutes later, a leisurely tread was indeed heard in the corridor. Someone knocked politely. Door opened. Two elderly nuns entered, holding an unusual-looking old man by the arms. He looked to be about ninety years old. Dry. Very tall, somewhere under a meter ninety. Correct Slavic facial features. His beard and slightly curly long hair were white as snow. He was dressed in a warm, somewhat old-style cassock. On the legs are rural quilted cloaks. The old man's legs were clearly sick, since every movement was given to him with great difficulty. Despite such external denseness, his eyes radiated life-giving kindness and inner strength.

“Peace be with you, peace with this house,” said the elder, crossing himself and bowing.
The nuns did the same. The guys sitting on the benches were even dumbfounded by such wonderful, long-forgotten words and the unusual appearance of an elderly person.
“Hello,” was all they could say, nodding their heads in confusion.
At that time, Sensei appeared from his waiting room.
“Peace be to your soul, Antony,” he said in an unusually changed sonorous voice, filled with some kind of pacifying good power.

When Sensei entered, the nuns, bowing their heads, began to make the sign of the cross. And the old man, his face beaming, tried to fall at his feet. Such a spiritual impulse burned in his eyes that it seemed as if there were absolutely no bodily obstacles in front of him. Sensei lightly picked him up, saying:
“It is not good for you, Antony, to bow before this body.
- I bow before the body, but before the Holy Spirit.
“Your whole life, Anthony, in the love of God is true worship.
Sensei, gently supporting the old man by the arm, led him to the waiting room. The nuns humbly sat down on a free bench, without ceasing to cross themselves and quietly whisper prayers. The guys, of course, were a little shocked by this sight. But not for long. There was always something unusual going on near Sensei. A minute later they were already carried away by talking about their daily routine. Max sat closest to the reception area, so he could see and hear what was happening there.

The elder, entering the reception room, crossed himself again, seeing the icon of the Savior. Sensei seated Antony on a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Thank you Lord for allowing me to meet with you again. The soul rejoices and trembles with grace, being near You.
The old man wiped away a tear.
“Antony, has there been at least one day in your life when I would not have been by your side?
- You speak truthfully. But still... the gaze of the eyes caresses the soul with Your light, like a clear sun in a clear firmament.
“Oh, Antony... The hour is not far off when you will caress yourself under this sun forever.
- It's a great joy. A true acquisition of the soul... But still, the pain for those who remain does not leave me. After all, a terrible time awaits them. How to alleviate their plight?
— My light, Antony... I am pleased with your love and care for those who are in this moment. But is it worth tormenting the soul for those who listened, but did not hear, did the flesh without feelings, and therefore did not penetrate the soul?
But not all is lost. There are those who are misguided. And there is no one to look for them among the slums of unbelief.
“I know what you came to ask me, Antony. Your secret thoughts are known to me. Although there are few like you left, pillars of silicon, on which Orthodoxy, which I love, rests, and which are able to strike the spark of God, but the hand does not rise in order to prolong your torment.
“Yes, my bodies are weak, but my spirit is steadfast and powerful... At least one, at least by the hand, but I can still lead to the light of God.”
There was a good laugh. “Oh, I know you, Anthony! Give you the will to lead by the hand, so you will drive all your flock to the gardens of paradise.
— Have mercy on me, my Most Pure Light! Well, it was given to me to see all the torments of hell that the lost children will endure. And they, these children, like little kittens, are blind from birth. They don't see where they are going.
- They don't see. But the Word was given to them. And heard heard, but do not believe the same. And you need to believe in God. Said: "Be careful!" So watch out! It is said "acquire love", so acquire it.
- All this is so ... But their deafness is from ignorance. They are tempted by visions of mirages of the hellish desert. After all, they do not know that this is a ghostly deception, leading the soul to death.
“They don’t know, my light Anthony, but they don’t want to admit it. Their thoughts are only about the idle, the essence of which is dust. What to do? If the gardener does not fight worms, then he will not be able to obtain a worthy fruit ...
- It's all the vanity of the worldly rest does not give them.
- Vanity? Vanity, Anthony, is not hidden in the world. It is not the external that torments them, but the internal that torments them. That is why I came into this body, in order to live a human life and see for myself whether anything hinders a person on the path to the Lord. Yes, nothing prevents! Only sheer laziness and a thirst for the temptations of decay.
— Yes, children are still weak in spirit. They don't see more for the little. Forgive me for my words, but why don't you reveal your True face before the lost herd? People will find their former faith, leading to the salvation of their souls. Because times are different now.

“Oh, Anthony, my righteous light... My spirit is here not for preaching, but for Rebuking, for the balance given by God has been disturbed. Open my true face, for many it will be like death. For the souls of sinners cannot endure the clear light, just as darkness cannot endure the bright sun. Only the righteous, pure in soul and thoughts can see it... People don't need broadcasting about salvation, but actions. Today there will be no one to justify themselves in ignorance, saying, "Lord, I searched and did not find." Lights of truth are burning all over the earth. Who wants, he will find.
- And that's true. It is a pity that time is running out, and there is not enough faith in people. But still, the soul cares for them, and asks sinners for them. After all, many lack the very smallest thing to gain confidence in their steps on the way to the Gates of the Lord. Help them by the power of Your holiness...
“Aki, you can refuse your request, filled with great suffering for the salvation of human souls ... Be your way ... For your merits and like you Praying ladies for the flock of the lost, a soul-saving prayer, full of the power of God. But remember, this prayer is like the Finger of the Lord. Who knew her, but retreated, for those she will be like a stone on the neck of a drowned man. For a retreat from their theomachism will be similar. But those who will fulfill it in the works of the righteous, with a clean conscience, will find this forgiveness even during their lifetime. The words of this prayer are as follows: “My True Father! I trust in You alone. And I pray You, Lord, only for the salvation of my soul. May your holy will be done ... ".

At these words, the vision ended abruptly. Max, no matter how hard he tried, could not remember the continuation of this soul-saving prayer, which had become so important and so valuable to him now. With some intuitive feeling, he understood that if he could reproduce it completely in his memory, he would no longer be afraid of any trials. He sensed in this prayer the truly hidden great power of God. His soul not only trembled, it, even remembering this fragment, was saturated with the intoxicating power of prayer, like a thirsty traveler in the desert with spring water ... "

Look, Merciful, on us, Thy servants, united by the union of conjugal union and begging for Thy help, may Thy mercy be upon us, may we be fruitful and may we see the sons of our sons even to the third and fourth generation and to the desired old age they will live and enter into The kingdom of heaven is by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all glory, honor and worship is due with the Holy Spirit forever. Amen."

Waking up in the morning, mentally say the following words:

Going on a long journey or just for some business, it’s good to mentally say:

“My angel, come with me: you are in front, I am behind you.” And the Guardian Angel will help you in any endeavor.

To improve your life, it is good to read the following prayer daily:

“Lord, merciful, in the name of Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit, save, save and have mercy on me, the servant of God (name). Remove damage from me, the evil eye and bodily pain forever. Lord, merciful, cast the demon out of me, a servant of God. Merciful Lord, heal me, servant of God (name). Amen".

Prayer for the Holy Cross

Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from His presence. As the smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts from the face of fire, so let the demons perish from the face of those who love God and are marked by the sign of the cross, and in joy they say: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-giving Cross of the Lord, drive away the demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, crucified on you, who descended into hell and corrected his strength the devil, and who gave us His Honorable Cross to drive away every adversary. O Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Lady Virgin Mother of God and with all the saints forever. Amen.

Will be wasted- scatter, scatter. Besi- demons, devils. celebrating- overshadowing, imposing a sign on itself. verb- speaking. Reverend- highly respected. corrected- victorious, victorious. goofy- crucified. Adversary- adversary, enemy life-giving- giving life, resurrecting.

In this prayer to the Holy Cross, we express our faith that the sign of the cross is the strongest means of driving out demons, and we ask the Lord for spiritual help through the power of the Holy Cross. The cross is called life-giving because Jesus Christ, being crucified on the Cross, thereby delivered people from eternal death in hell and gave eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Words who descended into hell and corrected the strength of the devil mean that Jesus Christ, after His death and before the Resurrection, was in hell, from where He brought holy people (for example, Adam, Moses) to the Kingdom of Heaven and thereby showed that He trampled, or destroyed, the power of the devil.

Translation: Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let all who hate Him flee from Him. As the smoke disappears, so let them disappear; and as wax melts from fire, so let the demons perish before those who love God and are marked by the sign of the cross and exclaim in joy: Rejoice, Most Honored and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, driving away demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified on you, Who descended into hell and destroyed the power of the devil and gave you to us, His Honorable Cross, to drive away every enemy. Oh, Most Honored and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, help me with the Holy Lady of the Virgin Mary and with all the saints in all ages. Amen.

Protect me, Lord, by the power of Your Honorable and Life-Giving Cross, and save me from all evil.

fences- fence, protect.

Translation: Protect me, Lord, by the power of Your Honest (Honored) and Life-Giving Cross, and save me from all evil.

This prayer should be said just before going to bed, kissing the cross worn on the chest, and protecting yourself and the bed with the sign of the cross.

Prayer to the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord is incredibly strong and gives powerful protection to the Lord even in the most hopeless cases. For many centuries, Orthodox people all over the world have resorted to it in order to protect themselves and their loved ones from all kinds of misfortunes, and most importantly, to communicate with God, to see His light, purity and righteousness, in order to receive spiritual harmony and eternal grace.

Prayer to the Life-Giving Cross (May God rise again...)

This prayer also has a second name - "Let God rise again ...". Her story is complex, scary and tragic, but it contains a true vocation and power. God's Word that have passed through the ages to announce the righteous Orthodox faith that saves everyone who comprehends her gifts.

The life-giving Cross, which is spoken of in prayer, is a wooden pillar on which Jesus Christ was crucified. The Christian people have been praying to him for many centuries in order to protect themselves from various negative influences:

There are many known facts that reveal the miraculous power of the Cross. In the distant year 326, King Constantine, who faithfully fought for the revival of Christianity, wished to erect temples on the land where Jesus was born, lived and died.

He also wanted to find the building on which the Great was crucified. In this noble cause, he was helped by his mother, Queen Elena. After an overwhelming search, she met with the weak Jew Judas, who told about the place where the Cross was located.

So in a deep cave on which a pagan temple stood, three crosses were discovered. But which of them caused the terrible torment of the Son of God, no one knew. And suddenly the Savior himself gave the answer to this question, pointing to the healing effect of the structure. In order to know the real Cross, the following was done:

  • he was brought to a seriously ill woman - and the disease instantly left her forever;
  • laid on the deceased - and after his touch, the deceased came to life.

After that, Queen Elena brought one part of the Cross to her son, and left the other in Jerusalem. Since then, uttering sincere, sincere words in prayer: “May God rise again, and scatter against Him ...”, a person receives powerful heavenly protection from any misfortunes. After all, the great divine power of Jesus remained forever on the Cross, which accepted suffering and death on it for the entire human race.

The life-giving Cross has become the main symbol of Christianity, because with a prayer on the lips, its strength increases, because through it the Almighty grants its protection to everyone, and it is unquestioning.

Prayer to the Life-Giving Cross from corruption

The power of prayer directly depends on the person who pronounces it. After all, it should be read sincerely and with a pure soul. That is why they often resort to it in order to expel corruption from a person, and, as you know, it is the result of envy and heartlessness of those people in whose souls evil has settled and, knowing no other way out, causes pain and suffering to others.

In such cases, when coming to the temple, you need to put a candle to the icon of Jesus Christ, read the prayer and psalm 90 three times. Such a prayer cleanses and fills with spiritual harmony, and the Cross becomes a talisman against all evil throughout the rest of your life. After all, if love for God lives in a person’s heart, then faith will forever settle in his soul.

Prayer to the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord is not just an eternal recognition of the Lord for his deeds, it sets out the whole essence of the world and the true destiny of man. It heals the physical and calms the spiritual. Her strength is in herself! For the Word of God, embedded in the soul, revives faith, which is the greatest grace given to mankind.

Before the wondrous miraculous power, the Four-pointed and Tripartite Cross of Christ, at your foot into the dust, I bow to you, the Honest Tree, which drives away from me all demonic shooting and frees me from all troubles, sorrows and misfortunes. You are the Tree of Life. You are the purification of the air, the illumination of the holy temple, the protection of my dwelling, the protection of my bed, the enlightenment of my mind, heart and all my feelings.

Lover of mankind, will this coffin be for me, or will you enlighten my wretched soul in the daytime? Seven coffin is before me, seven death is coming.

If you save the righteous, you are nothing great; and if you have mercy on the pure, it is nothing marvelous: for the essence of Thy mercy is worthy. But on me, a sinner, surprise Thy mercy: in this, show Thy philanthropy, so that my malice will not overcome Thy inexpressible goodness and mercy: and if you wish, arrange a thing for me.

Enlighten my eyes, O Christ God, lest I fall asleep into death, lest my enemy say: Be strong against him.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Be the intercessor of my soul, O God, as I walk in the midst of many nets; Deliver me from them and save me, Blessed One, like a Lover of mankind.

And it seems to me: the earth is groaning and with a sigh shows against me the incorruptible Judge, calling both the sun and the firmament with stars to witness... The storm of my thoughts plunges me already into despair. My soul approaches with trepidation, awaiting the verdict. All my hope is in You, Mother of God!

The face of Your servant is full of shame, although You constantly implore Your Born One to give from His bounties to me unworthy.

Loose my inextricable bonds - whiten the defiled with tears of repentance. You, who gave birth to my Life, resurrect me, mortified by carelessness; and estranged from the angels raise to them the Mother of God!

Terrible miracle, truly terrible! How the Lord only endured my sins! How alive He has not yet brought me to the bottom of hell! How he did not send an invisible weapon from above to strike me!

Of course, You, the Lady, with Your prayers gave me life, demanding from me repentance, which You Yourself give to me, Your servant, for You are my harbor and fence.

Illuminate me with the light of Your divine face, so that at night I will proclaim to You a hymn. Grant me, Lady, contrition of the heart, sobs and tears; grant perfect remission of sins, like a woman who had God incarnate in her womb. May I see You at night, Most Pure One, with my mind's eye, and then I will rejoice.

Oh, my strength, my hope, sweet light to Your servant! Accept this prayer from my defiled lips! May this night be the day of salvation for Your servant, O God-bred! I know that whatever You want, You can do everything in the face of the One Born by Thee, to Whom all honor and worship befits forever and ever. Amen.

hour three

Virgin Mistress, Mother of God, who bore Christ the Savior and our God in her womb, I put all my hope in You, I trust in You, for You are above incorporeal forces! Guard me, Most Pure One, with Your Divine Grace; guide my life, according to the holy will of your Son and our God.

Grant me remission of sins and be my refuge, cover, protection and guide to eternal life.

In the terrible hour of death, do not leave me, Mistress, but hasten to help me and tear me out of the hands of the demons of tormentors.

You alone, the Lady of the Mother of God, are exalted above all the earth; but we, O bride of God, bless you with faith, magnify you with love, worship you with fear, for you are the honor of honors, the height of heights.

Mistress, God-given comfort to me, Divine irrigation of my inner heat, a newly erupted stream in the withered source of my tears, a radiant torch of my darkened soul, wealth in poverty, strength in infirmities, healing of incurable wounds, cessation of sobbing, destruction of shackles!

Listen to my prayerful sighs, take pity on my weeping and, moved by my tears, bow down to my petition, and show me mercy, like the Mother of the Humanity of God!

Fulfill my insatiable desire, free me from the tormenting passion that kills my soul, and join me to You in the land of the living, in the bosom of the righteous.

I beg you, joy common to all, intercession common to all, make me rejoice with the inexpressible joy of the Tsar and God born by you, in His indescribable chamber, in unceasing pleasure, in His boundless kingdom.

My mistress, my refuge, life, weapons, praise, hope and strength! Let me enjoy the incomprehensible gifts of Your Son!

This I ask of You, because You, as the Mother of the Most High, have the power corresponding to Your desire. Therefore, I hope that I will receive what is expected from You, O Godless One, who gave birth to the hope of all, our Lord Jesus Christ, Who deserves all glory, honor and worship with His Father without beginning, with a good and life-giving Spirit, now, always, and forever and ever. Amen.

Fourth hour

I know, Virgin Mistress, Mother of God, that I am not worthy to look at Your image, for Your body and soul are pure, and You, in justice, should abhor me. But since God, who was born by You, became a Man in order to call sinners to repentance, then accept my confession in many grave sins and implore Your Son and God to show mercy to my poor soul.

A great multitude of iniquities prevent me from lifting up my eyes to Him and asking Him for forgiveness myself. Having enjoyed many gifts from God who created me, I forgot everything, ungrateful! I am poor in virtues, but rich in passions; full of shame and condemned by God.

Angels mourn me, demons laugh at me, conscience convicts me, shames my own actions; I am a dead man to death, I am condemned by myself until judgment, I am tormented by despair to endless torment.

Therefore, I resort to Your ambulance, Lady Mother of God! Descend upon my humility, Most Pure; Have pity on my infirmity, Immaculate! You have great boldness before the One who was born of You: no one else has this.

You can do everything, as the Mother of God, and nothing is impossible for You, if only You want.

Do not despise only my tears and sobs, do not reject my sorrows and my heart, do not leave my hope in You in vain!

By Thy prayers, bow down the mercy of Thy Son and Thy God and vouchsafe me, Thy unfortunate and unworthy servant, to perceive the original beauty of the soul, cast off the ugliness of passions, get rid of sin, bow before the truth, uproot voluptuousness and put on the shrine of dispassion, die for the world and come alive for virtue.

Be to me, traveling, a companion and a swimmer, accompany me, strengthen me when I am awake, protect me when I sleep, comfort the weeping, encourage the discouraged, deliver the offended, free the slandered, raise up the weak; defeat the demons that fight against me and help me in mortal danger, daily showing me terrible for visible and invisible enemies, so that they all know that I am Your servant, the Mother of God, who gave birth to God and the King of all, Who deserves honor and worship forever and ever. Amen.

Hour five

Virgin Mistress, Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ, I know that I am not pure, defiled, unworthy, because my iniquities exceeded the measure, they became more countless than the sand of the sea.

Add this to your good deeds, according to our prayer, - and we will glorify the all-holy name of your Son and our God, together with His Father without beginning and the life-giving Spirit, now, always and forever and ever. Amen.

eighth hour

Mistress, God-given comfort to me, Divine irrigation of my inner heat, a stream again escaping to cleanse my iniquities in the withered source of my tears, a radiant torch of my darkened soul, guidance of my path, cover of my nakedness, cessation of my groans, alleviation of troubles, destruction of shackles! Heed my prayers, and moved by my weeping, have pity on me.

Bow down to my petition, fulfill my insatiable desire, free me from the tormenting passion that fights against me day and night and kills my soul; Deliver me from the arrows of Belial and from enemies, visible and invisible, by Your intercession, vouchsafe me to be equal to the saints and the righteous and count me among Your servants and servants in a heavenly dwelling, in the land of the living.

I beseech Thee, intercession common to all, joy common to all, make me rejoice with the inexpressible joy of Thy Son and King in His boundless kingdom.

Grant me to enter into His chamber and there glorify the One to Whom all honor and worship is due, now, always and forever and ever. Amen.

Hour nine

Virgin Lady Mother of God, Mother of Christ our God! Accompany those who travel and guard them; rescue captives from heavy slavery; console the sad, relieve all bodily suffering and free from spiritual ailments and passions with Your invisible prayers, so that, having completed the path of this temporary life, we could receive eternal blessings in the Kingdom of Heaven through You.

Strengthen our faithful kings who trust in Your mercy and intercession against the enemies around them; scatter the cloud of sorrow that confuses their souls; deliver from despondency and weakness and give them a bright and joyful state of mind, bestowing peace and tranquility on their power. Save with Your prayers, Lady, the consecrated flock to You, the whole city and country - from hunger, earthquake, flood, fire, sword, invasion of foreigners, internecine wars; and turn away the righteous wrath of God from us by the good will and grace of the Only Begotten Son and Thy God, to Whom all glory, honor and worship is due with His Father without beginning and with the Most Holy and life-giving Spirit now, always and forever and ever. Amen.

tenth hour

Virgin, Mistress, blessed Theotokos, most blessed, God-blessed, the receptacle of the Divine: the Only Begotten Son of the Immortal and invisible Father! Incline Your ear to me and listen to these words, uttered by my filthy and unclean lips! With a contrite heart and humble thoughts, I resort to Your mercy.

Do not leave me unhappy in contempt, do not allow me, Your unworthy servant, to perish. Heal my wretched soul, embraced by evil passions.

The enemy trampled her down, crushing her with the sins of voluptuousness ... It is bitter and ashamed to me, and I do not dare to ask my philanthropic God for forgiveness for my many sins and the healing of my incurable ulcers.

I defiled the bodily temple, defiled it with obscene desires, and offended all my feelings with unacceptable deeds ...

Therefore, I do not dare to raise my hands to him, contaminated by bad deeds. And I opened my mouth to prayer, defiled by slander and slander against my neighbor. Therefore, before Your bounty, I, unfortunate and lost, fall into the dust.

I have no other hope, there is no other refuge than You, my only consolation, the joy of my soul, deliverance from sorrows and redemption from captivity, the deification of mortals, the rebirth of the fallen, the re-creation of my soul and body, the radiant torch of my darkened soul, a cover my nakedness, the cessation of my weeping, the change of my lot!

All hope is in You: do not deprive us of Your intercession, but help and protect us! Pleasant are Your petitions to Your Son, for He Who deigned to take on Himself the form of a servant keeps His mercy towards You, who served Him with an indescribable birth.

He rejoices in Your intercessions, and considering Your glory to be His own, He willingly fulfills them.

Do not leave me unfortunate in contempt, Mother of God, and let the unseemliness of my actions not serve to stop Your mercy.

I see no stronger help than Yours anywhere, and guilty of many sins, with repentance I resort to You, an ambulance in need, and from the depths of my heart I exclaim: have mercy on me, full of laziness and carelessness, accept my insignificant prayer and with Your prayers show me favorable to Your Son and God, and the Kingdom of Heaven, be worthy to be a participant in me, glorifying the One God in the Trinity now, and always, and forever and ever. Amen.

Hour eleven

You know, Mistress, that I have no hope of salvation, because I voluntarily corrupted my soul and body, from a young age I became a useless and worthless vessel; cursed in everything, I followed Belial: both in thoughts and in my deeds. Until now, he oppresses my will, daily intrigues me ...

I have acquired the habit of sin, and from time to time it only occurs to me to come to my senses...

Rejoice, shelter of the weary!

I rely on You, for You really gave birth in the flesh to the true God, Who deserves all glory, honor and worship with His Beginningless Father, the Most Holy, and the Good, and the Life-giving Spirit, now and always, and forever and ever. Amen.

Fourteenth hour

Mother of God, You are beyond all understanding! O Virgin, who surpassed all virginity, because before the birth of the Incarnate You were a virgin more than all virgins and remained the same in birth itself and after birth!

O Virgin, through whom human nature, which had once departed from God, according to the law of inexpressible philanthropy, was united with the nature of the Divine in such a way that the hypostasis did not suffer either fusion or change!

O Virgin, through whom, after reconciliation, we, through the envy of the evil one, not fulfilling our duty, find Thy Son and God merciful to ourselves.

I beg you, Mistress, I beg you, merciful and philanthropic Mother of the merciful and philanthropic God: and at this hour, protect me, who needs Your protection.

I am the abode of all the soul-destroying passions. I am tormented by fear from the innumerable multitude of my sins.

Which of my feelings have I not defiled, accursed one? With what vain thoughts have I not corrupted my soul? Why was my mind not captivated?

My passionate, weak, useless mind, acting in concert with the culprit of evil, clothes in images and gives a shade of reality to what I have never seen or heard in reality.

Do not reject, Lady, my humiliated prayer, be my deliverer, so that, saved by Your grace, I glorify You and glorify the All-good Trinity forever and ever. Amen.

Hour fifteen

Lady, Mother of the Good, All-Good and Most Good God, look graciously at the prayers of Your indecent servant and act with me according to Your inexpressible mercy, leaving without attention my sins, committed in word or deed, by virtue of my desire or against my will, in consciousness and unconscious (sin). Renew all of me, making me a temple of the All-Holy and Life-Giving Spirit, which is the power of the Most High, Who overshadowed Your Most Pure Womb and dwelt in it.

You are the helper of the tormented by labor, the representative of the distressed, the savior of the overwhelmed, the harbor of those who are in agitation, the intercessor of those caught in need.

Grant Thy servant contrition of heart, peace of mind, chastity of mind, vigor of soul, humility in the way of thinking, a pious mood of spirit, a prudent disposition, and also the peace that our Lord gave to his disciples.

May my prayer reach Thy holy temple and ascend into the habitation of Thy glory! Let sources of tears flow from my eyes, and You will wash me with Your own tears, purifying me from passions.

Erase the handwriting of my sins, scatter the cloud of my sorrow, the darkness and confusion of thoughts, remove the excitement of passions from me, keep me in silence, not disturbed by anything, please me with inexpressible joy and uninterrupted jubilation, so that, walking the right path of the commandments of Your Son, I will be without reproaches conscience could go through the field of life.

Darum to me, now praying to You, a pure prayer, so that day and night with a serene mind and unerring reflection I would learn the words of Divine Scripture: confessing, singing and in the joy of my heart offering prayer in honor and glory of Your Son and our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all glory is due , honor and worship, now, and always, and forever and ever. Amen.

Hour sixteen

Merciful Mother of the philanthropic and merciful God, hear me from the height of Your glory, make me worthy of hearing Your words, heed my cry, coming from the depths of my soul, and do not reject my sorrows of prayer!

You who give me life through Your intercession, let me open my mouth so that I can proclaim Your greatness before my death.

I have sinned, O All-blameless One, I have sinned, and I know my iniquity, and my sin is taken out before me (Ps. 50:5).

Descend to my last prayer and to the confession of your servant; give me streams of mournful tears and cleanse the mud of my sins with them; plant the holy fear of your Son and God in my petrified heart; Penetrate into my insides, so that I may be cleansed with tears and the saving spirit will be reborn in me.

Kindle a mental light in my darkened mind, so that in the silence and purity of this light I offer up the sacrifice that Your Son and my God commanded, Who came to call sinners, and not the righteous to repentance, and Who, at Your intercession, will accept me unworthy.

There have been many who have sinned from time immemorial, Lady; there were many at all times who did not keep the commandments of your Son; but there is none who surpasses me in the number of iniquities.

All Old and New Testament glorifies the virtues of the righteous; but the inner judgment of my conscience shows me that my sins and iniquities exceed all evil from the ages.

Adam received the commandment and the law, but he did not keep them. But he, the Most Pure One, has not yet experienced another fall and condemnation. And I, unfortunate, what can I say in my defense? Being intemperate and self-willed, I tend to become bad; therefore there is no excuse for me, I am more unfortunate than all the descendants of Adam, more unfortunate than the Sodomites, consumed by fire.

Thus I realize that I am more unhappy than all the unfortunate and more sinful than all the sinners of the New Testament; having been baptized, I am defiled; honored by the acceptance of grace, I put on the shame of sins and destroy the grace received at baptism. Will I have enough thoughts and words, time and means to cleanse my sins, which are great as the sea? What will happen to me? Which way should I go? The heavenly path is inaccessible, the earthly one is cramped, the underground one is scary, the sea one is blocked. I am in an unimaginable extreme, inevitable danger awaits me everywhere, thought and word dry up.

In a terrible hour, mortal do not leave me, Mistress, but hasten to help me and snatch me from the hands of the tormenting demons. You have the power to do this, being the true Mother of God.

Accept the befitting gifts to Thee alone from us, Thy humble servants, O All-Holy Lady The Mother of God, chosen from all generations and found to be above all earthly and heavenly creatures!

Through You we have come to know the Son of God; through you the Lord of hosts has appeared among us, and we have become worthy of His holy Body and Blood...

Blessed are You in childbirth, God-blessed, most holy of the Cherubim and most glorious of the Seraphim! And now, All-Holy One, do not stop pleading for us, Your unworthy servants, so that we can get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid extreme and hopeless circumstances.

With Your prayers, keep us uncondemned, so that, saved by Your intercession and Your help, we send up praise and thanksgiving and worship to the One in the Trinity God and Creator of all now, and always, and forever and ever. Amen.

I have no help and protection except You. Hoping in You, let me not stay without getting what I want.

I boast in You: because of the multitude of my iniquities, do not turn Your face away from me, Your unworthy servant.

You have the power as the one who indescribably gave birth to the One from the Trinity. You have something to convince and something to propitiate! There are hands on which You carried Him; there are the breasts with which You fed Him as a child.

To that which is from Thee, add also that which is from Him: the cross, the blood, and the sores by which we are saved and glorified. He will always do what is pleasing to You, who served Him as a birth in the work of redemption.

You have filled the world with blessings.

I entrust to you my soul, defiled by sins.

You see, Lady of my sores: heal them, pouring in a drop of Your compassion.

Your intercession for a desperate soul is favorably accepted by Your Son, who has made You a refuge for sinners, and the King of all, Who deserves all glory, honor and worship with His Beginningless Father, with the Most Holy, Good and Life-giving Spirit now, always and forever and ever. Amen.

Extinguish the heat in my body, subdue the storm of anger, destroy to the end the arrogance of vain youth.

Reduce in my heart the wicked dreams sent at night by the wicked spirit; weaken the daily tide of impure thoughts.

Teach my tongue to speak only of what is useful, and teach my eyes to see the beauty of virtue.

Cleanse my mouth so that I can boldly call the Father of the Most High God.

Open my ears so that I can feed on the sweetest honey of the words of the Holy Scripture and fulfill them with Your help.

Give me time to repent and save me from sudden death.

Appear to me at the separation of a humble soul from my poor body; weaken then unbearable torments, alleviate unspeakable longing, comfort in a desolate situation, deliver from the contemplation of demons, free from the merciless torment of air publicans, repel the fiery swords of my sins, make me worthy at the Last Judgment to stand at the right hand of Your Son, save from endless torment and grant to inherit eternal bliss .
