Prayer of Saint John of Damascus

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. I am afraid of Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil: I will always anger the Lord my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the heavenly powers, and my holy guardian angel. We know, O Lord, that I am not worthy of Thy love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, either I want it or I don't want it, save me. 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: 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 now: The Most Glorious Mother of God, and the Most Holy Angel of the Holy Angels, silently sing with heart and mouth, confessing this Mother of God, as if she truly gave birth to God, is incarnate, and praying unceasingly for our souls.

Lord, make me worthy to love Thee with all my soul and thoughts, and to do Thy will in everything.

Lord, cover me from certain people, and demons, and passions, and from all other unsimilar things.

Lord, weigh, as you do, as you will, may your will be done in me a sinner, as if you are blessed forever. Amen.

Hey, my Lord, my consolation, Even for the sake of the accursed in corruptible flesh, throw me out of wretchedness, and give consolation to my wretched soul. Plant in my heart to do Thy commandments, and leave evil deeds, and receive Thy blessedness: in Thee, O Lord, trust, save me.

Prayer of St. Joannicius

My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son, my protection is the Holy Spirit: Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

It is worthy to eat as truly blessed Thee, the Mother of God, the Blessed and Immaculate and Mother of our God. The most honest Cherubim and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, without the corruption of God the Word, who gave birth to the real Mother of God, we magnify You.

From Pascha to Ascension, instead of this prayer, the refrain and irmos of the 9th ode of the Paschal canon are read:

An angel crying out of grace: Pure Virgin, rejoice! And pack the river: rejoice! Your Son is risen three days from the tomb and raised up the dead; folks, have fun! Shine, shine, new Jerusalem, the glory of the Lord is upon you. Rejoice now and rejoice, Sione. You, Pure One, show off, Mother of God, about the rise of Your Nativity .

Prayer of Saint John of Damascus

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. I am afraid of Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil: I will always anger the Lord my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the heavenly powers, and my holy guardian angel. We know, O Lord, that I am not worthy of Thy love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, either I want it or I don't want it, save me. 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 now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

The Most Glorious Mother of God, and the Most Holy Angel of the Holy Angels, silently sing with heart and mouth, confessing this Mother of God, as if she truly gave birth to God, is incarnate, and praying unceasingly for our souls.

Mark yourself with the sign of the cross.

Prayer to 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.

Or briefly:

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

Prayer

Weaken, leave, forgive, God, our sins, free and involuntary, even in word and in deed, even in knowledge and not in knowledge, even in days and nights, even in mind and in thought: forgive us all, as Good and Humanitarian.

Remember, Lord, those who bear fruit and do good in Your holy churches, and grant them even salvation, petitions and eternal life. Remember, Lord, also us, the humble and sinful and unworthy servants of Thy, and enlighten our minds with the light of Thy mind, and guide us on the path of Thy commandments, with the prayers of our Most Pure Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, and all Thy saints: blessed be Thou forever and ever .

Notes:

- Printed in italics (explanations and names of prayers) are not read during prayer.

- When it is written “Glory”, “And now”, it is necessary to read in full: “Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”, “And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen"

- There is no sound ё in the Church Slavonic language, and therefore it is necessary to read “we call”, and not “we call”, “your”, and not “your”, “mine”, and not “mine”, etc.

Explanation of Evening Prayers

Evening prayers

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of Truth, Who is everywhere and fills everything, Treasury of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Blessed, our souls.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. ( thrice)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Lord, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Your name's sake.

Lord have mercy. ( thrice) Glory, and now:

Our Father, Who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven and on earth. Give us our daily bread today; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.


Tropari

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us; bewildering any answer, we offer this prayer as the Lord of sin: have mercy on us.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for not finding any justification for ourselves, we sinners offer You, as the Master, this prayer: have mercy on us.

Glory: Lord, have mercy on us, we put our trust in Thee; do not be angry with us, remember our iniquities below, but look now as if you are merciful, and deliver us from our enemies; Thou art our God, and we are Thy people, all works by Thy hand, and we call on Thy name.

Glory: Lord, have mercy on us, for we hope in You. Do not be greatly angry with us and do not remember our iniquities; but now also turn to us Your gaze, as Merciful, and deliver us from our enemies, for You are our God and we are Your people; we are all the work of your hands, and we call on your name.

And now: Open the doors of Mercy to us, blessed Mother of God, hoping in Thee, let us not perish, but let us be delivered from troubles by Thee: Thou art the salvation of the Christian race.

And now: Open the doors of Mercy to us, Blessed Mother of God, so that we, who trust in You, do not perish, but get rid of troubles through Your prayers, for You are the salvation of the Christian race.

Any answer is perplexing- for not finding any justification for themselves ( be perplexed- not knowing what to do, being unskillful; word answer here is a translation of the Greek word "protection", "justification").
Yako the Lord- as the Lord (having the power to forgive sins).
Trust in You- because we have relied on you (as in the Greek text of the prayer; hope- form of the 1st person plural. past tense numbers - aorist verb trust: Church Slavonic variant means: we hoped for you).
Zelo- strongly.
Below– and not.
despise- to be merciful, to pay attention, to look favorably, to look graciously from top to bottom.
But look now– but now also turn Your gaze to us.
Yako is kind because you are merciful.
us- us.
You are more- because you.
All works by Your hand- we are all the creations of Your hands (the dash would clarify this expression: after the Greek original, a linking verb was omitted in the Slavic translation; in full form it would sound: all we do is by thy hand; your hand- form of the genitive case of the dual number).
open- open, open.
Let us get rid of your troubles- Yes, with Your help, we will get rid of adversity, adversity.

These troparia are the creation of St. John of Damascus.

The first prayer of Saint Macarius the Great, to God the Father

Eternal God and the King of every creature, having made me sing even at this hour, forgive me the sins that I have done in this day by deed, word and thought, and cleanse, Lord, my humble soul from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. And give me, Lord, in this night's sleep to pass away in peace, but having risen from my humble bed, I will please your most holy name, all the days of my stomach, and I will stop the enemies of the flesh and fleshless who fight me. And deliver me, O Lord, from vain thoughts that defile me, and from evil lusts. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Eternal God and King of all created things, having made me come to this hour, forgive me the sins that I committed on this day in deed, word and thought, and cleanse, Lord, my contrite soul from all impurity of body and soul. And give me, Lord, to spend this night’s sleep calmly, so that, rising from my wretched bed, I will please Your holy name all the days of my life and defeat the enemies that attack me - carnal and incorporeal. And deliver me, Lord, from empty thoughts that defile me, and from evil desires. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and always and forever and ever. Amen.

reach- reach, reach, strain efforts.
vouchsafed me even at this hour to sing- who made me come to this hour.
Mi- to me.
I have created- which I created (made).
Go- move, live.
Yes- to.
humble- here: contrite, pitiful, worthless, humiliated by sins (protect yourself from the terrible danger of false humility and proud recognition of yourself as humble!).
Give mi- grant (give) me.
In the night this dream will pass in the world- spend this night's sleep peacefully, calmly.
From my humble bed(in some prayer books: from my humble bed) - from my miserable, meager bed (humble often means: "low, base" even just in a physical sense).
favored- did good.
Stomach- life.
In front of the enemies that fight me are carnal and non-corporeal- (so that I) defeat the enemies attacking me - carnal and incorporeal. We are talking about the corresponding sins: carnal (such as gluttony, fornication) and incorporeal, i.e. spiritual (the main ones are: vanity, pride, love of money, anger, sadness, despondency).
The lusts of the evil ones- evil desires.

In this prayer, we thank God for a well-spent day, ask Him for forgiveness of sins, Good night and keep us from all evil. This prayer ends with the doxology of the Holy Trinity.

And deliver me, O Lord, from vain thoughts that defile me, and evil lusts. With these words of the prayer, other words from the teaching of St. Macarius on prayer are peculiarly echoed: “The true foundation of prayer is this: to be attentive to thoughts and to pray in great silence and peace. A person who is praying needs to direct all his efforts to thoughts and what serves as food for evil thoughts, then cut off, and aspire with his thought to God and not fulfill the desires of thoughts, but gather the whirling thoughts together from everywhere, distinguishing natural thoughts from the evil ones. The soul under sin is likened to a great forest on a mountain or a reed on a river, or some thicket of thorns and trees, therefore those intending to pass through this place should stretch their hands forward and with effort and difficulty push the branches apart in front of them. So the soul is surrounded by a whole forest of thoughts inspired by a resisting force, which is why great diligence and attentiveness of the mind are needed in order for a person to distinguish alien thoughts inspired by a resisting force.

Second Prayer of Saint Antiochus to our Lord Jesus Christ

Almighty, Word of the Father, perfect Himself, Jesus Christ, for the sake of Thy mercy, never leave me, Thy servant, but always rest in me. Jesus, good Shepherd of Your sheep, do not betray me to sedition of the serpent, and do not leave me the desire of Satan, for there is a seed of aphids in me. You are, O Lord, worshiped God, Holy King, Jesus Christ, while sleeping, save me with a flickering light, by Your Holy Spirit, Who sanctified Your disciples. Give, Lord, to me, Your unworthy servant, Your salvation on my bed: enlighten my mind with the light of the mind of Your holy Gospel, soul with the love of Your Cross, heart with the purity of Your word, my body with Your impassive passion, save my thought with Your humility, and raise up me in time like Your praise. As if you were glorified with Your Father without beginning and with the Most Holy Spirit forever. Amen.

Almighty, Word of the Father, Jesus Christ, being perfect Himself, according to Your great mercy, never leave me, Your servant, but always abide in me. Jesus, good Shepherd of Your sheep, do not give me over to the rebellion of the serpent and do not leave me to the will of Satan, for the seed of destruction is in me. But You, Lord God, Who is worshipped, the Holy King, Jesus Christ, during my sleep preserve me with an unfading light, by Your Holy Spirit, by which You sanctified Your disciples. Give, Lord, to me, Your unworthy servant, Your protection on my bed: enlighten my mind with the light of understanding of Your holy Gospel, my soul with love for Your Cross, my heart with the purity of Your teaching, my body with Your suffering, alien to passion, my thought Keep your humility; and lift me up at the proper time to glorify You. Because glory befits You in the highest degree with Your Father without beginning and with the Most Holy Spirit forever. Amen.

Almighty- all (created) containing in His power and managing everything.
Himself perfect- being Himself perfect (soy - participle from the verb being: being, existing).
Never leave me– never leave (do not leave) me.
rest- stay.
Don't betray- do not betray (me).
Sermon serpent- sedition (rebellion, indignation) on the part of the serpent (i.e. the devil).
Desire Satan do not leave me Don't leave me to the will of Satan.

The rescue- protection.
Dazhd- give.
By the light of reason- here: the light of understanding (understanding).
the love of your cross- Your love, extending to the Cross Sacrifice.
word- teachings.
Your impassive passion- Your suffering, alien to passion. (On the Cross, the Lord suffered only by His human nature; at the same time, His Divinity remained passionless, therefore the passions (i.e., sufferings) of Christ are called passionless.)
Like you are glorified- for the glory befits You in the highest degree.

Prayer three, to the Holy Spirit

Lord, the King of Heaven, the Comforter, the Soul of truth, have mercy and have mercy on me, Your sinful servant, and let me go unworthy, and forgive all, the fir-tree has sinned today as a man, moreover, not as a man, but also more woefully than cattle, my free sins and involuntary, led and unknown: even from youth and science are evil, and even from impudence and despondency.

Amen.

Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of truth, have mercy and have mercy on me, Your sinful servant, and justify and forgive me, unworthy, everything in which I have sinned against You today as a man, and moreover - not only as a man, but and worse than cattle: my voluntary sins and unintentional, conscious and unconscious, committed from youth and from an evil habit, and those from shamelessness and carelessness.

Have mercy on me, my Creator and Lord, Thy dull and unworthy servant, and forgive them to me, and justify, and forgive me, as Good and Humanitarian, so that I, prodigal, sinful and unhappy, lie down in peace, fall asleep, and rest, and I will worship, and sing, and glorify Your honorable name with the Father and His Only Begotten Son, now, and always, and forever.

At the beginning of the prayer and at the end of it is mentioned among the causes of numerous sins despondency: ... Forgive me all, Elika You have sinned ... from despondency ... Have mercy on me, my Lord, my Creator, your sad and unworthy servant ... Despondency is one of the eight main passions, and the fight against this passion is inevitable for every Christian.

“To the one who stands up for prayer, this evil spirit reminds him of the necessary deeds and uses every trick to only distract us from the conversation with the Lord by some plausible pretext.” ( Saint John of the Ladder)

“The soul, wounded by the arrow of this devastating passion, really falls asleep for any striving for virtue and observation of one’s spiritual feelings… The mind of an idler does not think of anything else but food and a womb, until, having met somewhere fellowship in any man or woman, numb in the same coldness, it gets involved in their affairs and needs ... The main opposition to it will be: do not give in , sit down for business. ( )

... In this prayer of repentance, a whole list of sins is given that we sin daily; In order for this daily repentance to be sincere, one should delve into the essence of the sins confessed here, into their connection and difference. Some of them deserve special mention.

I swear by your name… Here are the words of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself: You also heard what was said of the ancients: do not break your oath, but fulfill your oaths before the Lord. But I say to you: do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor the earth, for it is His footstool; nor Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King; do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. But let your word be: yes, yes; no no; and what is more than this is from the evil one(Matthew 5:33-37). Undoubtedly, the words of the evening confession of sins speak not only of an immediate oath, but also of any violation of the 3rd commandment of the Law of God - about worship and commemoration of the name of God in vain (note that the violation of the same commandment includes catechism and inattention in prayer - like saying name of God with violation of reverence and deceitfulness).

Or blaspheme in my mind... These words confess blasphemous thoughts - disgusting, dirty thoughts and ideas that arise primarily during prayer and during worship.

... "Whoever the spirit of blasphemy worries about and who wants to get rid of him, let him know for sure that it is not his soul that is guilty of such thoughts, but an unclean demon ... Therefore, we, despising him and imputing his thoughts for nothing, will say to him: Get away from Me, Satan: I will worship the Lord My God and serve Him alone (cf. Matt. 4:10); let your words turn against your head!” ( Saint John of the Ladder)

Saint John also points out the mysterious inner cause of blasphemous thoughts: this is pride. "He who has triumphed over this passion has cast off pride." “Let us stop judging and condemning our neighbor, and we will not be afraid of blasphemous thoughts: for the cause and root of the second is the first.” The prayer-confession also draws our attention to these sins, internally connected with blasphemy, against our neighbor:

Or whom I reproach; or slander whom with my anger, or grieved... It speaks of a direct reproach ( reproach), about a passionate unfair condemnation ( slander whom with my anger); finally, even “just” and unspoken anger somehow upsets our neighbors ( saddened). The prayer of repentance turns us to the root of these sins against our neighbor: ... or what are you angry about… Anger is one of the eight major passions. Anger is permissible only at demons and at oneself.

Or saddened my brother… It would seem that this sin has just been discussed; but above it was a question of sadness caused by manifestations of anger, and my brother can be saddened by inattention, and unreason, and simply my general sinfulness.

Or a wedding.. Swaditi- quarrel, stir up discord.

Or who do you judge... Recall the words of the apostle: He who reviles his brother or judges his brother, reviles the law and judges the law; and if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge. There is one Lawgiver and Judge, able to save and destroy; and who are you to judge others?(James 4:11-12).

Or get angry, or get angry, or get angry... But it has already been said above: or what are you angry about; is this a repeat? Perhaps the prefix times - indicates a different quality, a different level of confessed passion: a fairly strong grip with anger ( got angry can also refer to a fleeting feeling).

Or seeing alien kindness, and wounded by that heart... Wounded by the heart - that is, he was wounded in the very heart, received a painful heart wound (ulcer). The ambiguity of the word kindness allows us to attribute this phrase both to the temptation of someone's external beauty (voluptuous thoughts, burning and painful), and to envy, always painful; apply these words to your own mental ulcer.

Or laugh at the sin of my brother, but my essence is countless sinsWhy do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not feel the beam in your eye? Or how will you say to your brother: “Give me, I will take the speck out of your eye”, but, behold, there is a log in your eye? Hypocrite! first take the log out of your eye, and then you will see how to take the speck out of your brother's eye.(Matthew 7:3-5).

Fourth Prayer of Saint Macarius the Great

What will I bring to Thee, or what will I repay Thee, the most gifted Immortal King, the generous and philanthropic Lord, as if lazy to me for Your pleasure, and doing nothing good, did You bring to the end of this past day, the conversion and salvation of my soul building? Be merciful to me, be a sinner and naked of every good deed, raise up my fallen soul, defiled in immeasurable sins, and take away from me all the evil thought of this visible life. Forgive my sins, O only Sinless One, even though I have sinned on this day, in knowledge and ignorance, in word and deed, and thought, and all my feelings. You yourself, covering, save me from every opposing situation with your divine power, and indescribable philanthropy, and strength. Cleanse, O God, cleanse the multitude of my sins.

What will I bring to You, or how will I answer You, Greatly Gifted Immortal King, Generous and Humane Lord, for bringing me, lazy to serve You and having done nothing good, to the end of this past day, arranging my appeal to You and the salvation of my soul? Be merciful to me, a sinner, and having no good deed, raise up my fallen soul, defiled by countless sins, and remove from me all the evil thoughts of this visible life. Forgive, the only Sinless One, my sins, with which I have sinned against You on this day knowingly and out of ignorance, in word and deed, and thought and all my feelings. You Yourself save me from every onslaught of evil, protecting me with Your Divine power, and inexpressible philanthropy, and strength. Cleanse, O God, cleanse the multitude of my sins. Have mercy, Lord, to free me from the snares of the devil, and save my suffering soul and shine on me with the light of Your face when You come in glory, and let me fall asleep now, not in condemnation and without tempting dreams, and save the thoughts of Your servant from embarrassment.

But in their very minds, those who have the peace of Christ and the enlightenment of Christ know where all this comes from.”

Prayer six

Lord our God, in Worthless faith, and His name more than any name we call, give us, departing to sleep, weaken the soul and body, and keep us from every dream, except for dark sweetness; set the striving of passions, quench the kindling of the uprising of the body. Give us a chaste life of deeds and words; Yes, a virtuous residence is receptive, the promised ones will not fall away from Your good ones, for blessed are You forever. Amen.

Lord, our God, in whom we believe and whose name we call upon more than all names, grant us, who go to sleep, relief to the soul and body, and save us from every dream and from impure voluptuousness; stop impulses of passionate desires, extinguish the fire of carnal excitement. Grant us to lead a chaste life both in deeds and in words, so that, returning to a virtuous life, we would not be deprived of Your promised blessings, for You are blessed forever. Amen.

In Worthless faith in whom we have believed.
Pace- more.
Weaken- relief, relaxation of tension, rest.
From every dream- from all empty thoughts, ghosts, dreams.
Dark sweets except– unaffected by impure lust ( sweetness- sensual pleasure, lust; except- outside).
Settle the desire of passions- stop the movement, the attack of passions.
Extinguish the kindling of the uprising of the body- extinguish the fire of passions rising, rising in the body, flesh.
Chastely live deeds and words- to lead a chaste life both in deeds and in words.

Your good- blessings, grace (salvation).

This evening prayer is all aimed at chastity, at the confrontation of lust - dark sweets. Expressions such as: striving for passions and kindling the uprising of the bodily, should not be translated into modern Russian: in Church Slavonic they are more understandable, because they point to the whole worldview imprinted in them. Modern Christians live in a world that is literally in the grip of prodigal madness, so even for a married lay person who wants to live with God, the struggle to live chastely deeds and words, in its own way no less tense than for a monk. Prayer is an indispensable weapon in this struggle.

The great teacher of prayer, Saint Theophan the Recluse, attached great importance to these prayers and recommended them to many of his spiritual children as the basis prayer rule as a school of unceasing divine thought. Here are some excerpts from his letters:

“How to read the prayers of St. Chrysostom (24 in evening prayers for sleep)? Read them before prayer so that your attention gathers together... But at any time repeat mentally. This The best way to accustom oneself to the remembrance of God, and this remembrance is the basis of spiritual life. Lay bows from the waist, and sometimes earthly ones. ”-“ You can use the prayers of St. Chrysostom instead of your home rule in the morning. Learn them and think about each one. .. In them, all spiritual life is commemorated... How many times to commemorate each one - determine this in such a way that you stand in prayer as much as you usually stand idle on the rule. You can also attach your prayers to them - choose from the psalms: which rhyme is to your heart, write it down ... Using these prayers with attention on the rule, you will soon get used to standing in prayer unabashedly. Insert the Jesus Prayer into their midst. For example, saying ten times: Lord, do not deprive me of Your heavenly blessings“, – attach: “ Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner"". - “The purpose of short prayers is to promote the collection of thoughts and sobriety. Strength is not in words, but in a feeling for God. It soon forms among those who work on prayer. This is what intelligent prayer is. The mind, standing in the heart, sees God and cleverly confesses to Him by invoking Him… Feeling for God is unceasing prayer without words.”

Ninth prayer, to the Most Holy Theotokos,

To Thee, the Most Pure Mother of God, as a cursed one, I pray: weigh, Queen, as if I sin without ceasing and anger Your Son and my God, and many times I repent, I find lies before God, and I repent trembling: surely the Lord will strike me, and by the hour again I create; lead this, my mistress, the Lady Theotokos, I pray, have mercy, yes strengthen, and do good work and grant me. Vesi bo, my Lady Mother of God, as if by no means an imam in hatred of my evil deeds, and with all my thought I love the law of my God; but we do not know, the Most Pure Lady, from where I hate it, I love it, but I transgress the good. Do not allow, Most Pure, my will to be done, it is not pleasing, but may the will of Your Son and my God be done: may it save me, and enlighten me, and give me the grace of the Holy Spirit, so that from now on I would stop foul deeds, and the rest would live in command Your Son, to Him is due all glory, honor and power, with His Father without beginning, and His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever, amen.

To You, the Most Pure Mother of God, I, unfortunate, falling down, pray: You know, Queen, that I constantly sin and anger Your Son and my God, and although I repent many times, I turn out to be a deceit before God and repent with fear: is it not now the Lord punish me, and soon I do the same thing again. I beg you, my Lady, Lady Mother of God, that, knowing this, have mercy and strengthen, and give me good to do. For You know, my Lady, Mother of God, that I hate my evil deeds and with all my mind I love the law of my God; but I don’t know, Madam Most Pure, why what I hate, I love the same thing, but I sin in good deeds. Do not allow, Most Pure One, to fulfill my will, for it is evil, but let it be according to the will of Your Son and my God, may it save me, and enlighten me, and give me the grace of the Holy Spirit, so that from now on I will stop doing bad things, and would continue to live according to the commandments Your Son, to Whom belongs all glory, honor and power with His Beginningless Father and His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now, and always, and forever and ever. Amen.

Vesey- you know (you know).
Many times as I repent, I find lies before God- and although I repent many times, I turn out to be unfaithful to God (I deceive God).

Befits him- Which belongs.

This prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos is the cry of a man who has realized how little his will for good can counteract sin. And repentance, quite sincere, and love with all thought for the law of God, and hatred for evil deeds, in themselves are not capable of saving a person from slavery to sin. The words of the apostle Paul are close to the words of this prayer: ... I am carnal, sold to sin. For I do not understand what I am doing: because I do not do what I want, but what I hate, I do. But if I do what I do not want, then ... it is no longer I who do it, but sin living in me. For I know that no good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; because the desire for good is in me, but to do it, I do not find it. The good that I want, I do not do, but the evil that I do not want, I do. But if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin that dwells in me. So I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me. For by inner man I find pleasure in the law of God; but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin that is in my members.(Rom. 7:14-23). It is possible to overcome and overcome the law of sin only by God's help, by the power of God's grace, which we call upon in our prayers.

Tenth Prayer, to the Most Holy Theotokos

Good Tsar, good Mother, Most Pure and Blessed Mother of God Mary, pour out the mercy of Your Son and our God on my passionate soul and with Your prayers instruct me in good deeds, so that the rest of my life will pass without a blemish and I will find paradise with You, Virgin Mother of God, one Pure and Blessed.

Kontakion to the Theotokos

The chosen Voivode is victorious, as if having got rid of the evil ones, gratefully we will write down Ti Thy servants, the Mother of God, but as if having an invincible power, from all troubles of freedom, let us call Ty; Rejoice, Unbrided Bride.

To you, the invincible Commander, as those who have got rid of evil, we sing a song of thanksgiving, Thy servants, Mother of God. But You, as having invincible power, free us from all troubles, but we cry out to You: rejoice, Bride of the Ever-Virgin.

Chosen Governor- invincible Voivode ( chosen- invincible in battles - battles), Leader, Commander.
victorious- victorious (triumphal) thanksgiving song.
Like getting rid of the evil- since they got rid of ( literally: as delivered) from evil (troubles).
thanksgiving- thanksgiving (thankful song).
Let's resurrect Ty- sing ( literally: writing) to you.
Like having a power- (You), as having power (power).
free- release (save).
Let's call you- let's call on you.
not bride- unmarried literal translation of the Greek word).

The Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos, beginning with this kontakion, was written in the 7th century in Constantinople. This is the first (and most beautiful) of the akathists, which has become a model for all subsequent ones. All 12 ikos of the akathist end with multiple “rehashings” of the Archangel’s greeting to the Blessed Virgin – “rejoice!”, the final of which – We magnify the heavenly purity of the Unsophisticated Virgin, who indescribably gave birth to Christ our God, and in Her purity “Most Honorable Cherubim” Bride Not bride appears before us as the greatest warrior with the forces of evil - Chosen Governor, having an invincible power.

Rejoice, Unbrided Bride! If we turn to the Greek language in which the akathist is written, we will see that all these three words, translated with literal accuracy into Church Slavonic and included in our religious consciousness, should have been perceived by the Greeks somewhat differently than we perceive them.

rejoice- the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel, brought to us by the Gospel, - both before the Nativity of Christ and after it was in Greek the usual greeting - the same as our “hello”. In the appearance of the Angel, in his wondrous and mysterious words, the inner meaning of the greeting, forgotten in everyday life, of course, was renewed and shone with all its might; akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos (and every later inspired akathist), all permeated with these “rejoice!” and sparkling with the joy of magnificence, also resurrects the meaning of the Greek word, dormant in everyday language. But in Russian (and Old Russian) they greeted each other not with the word “rejoice”, but with the word “hello” (in which we usually forget the wish for health). “Rejoice” remains for us a word always richer, more special – a conscious word about joy, a unique greeting for the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints of God.

Bride Not bride is a direct, literal translation of two Greek words. Church Slavonic bride corresponds to the Greek word νύμφη "nymph", which means not only a girl-bride, but also a newlywed wife and a young woman. New Testament(and the Greek translation of the Bible) gave this word a great mystical depth: the Bride of the Lamb in the Revelation of John the Theologian (Rev. 19:7; 21:9; 22:17) is not only destined for Him, but also is with Him in a mysterious marriage; this is an image of both the Mother of God and the Church (in her we recognize the bride of the Song of Songs and the prophetic books of Scripture). And the Greek word ανύμφευτος, translated by the Slavic word not bride is the negative form of the first word, meaning "unmarried"; this word was quite common in Greek. For Greek, but not for Slavic! After all, in the Slavic bride- this is exactly non-slave, an unknown (that is, just what the Greek non-bride corresponds to) a girl who did not marry, although she was destined for him; the word itself carries the meaning of purity. Inside the Slavic language the word not bride inexplicable. It brings a new shade of meaning to the expression of the akathist: Pure Bride, but - not bride, not ordinary, not comparable to any other bride.

Other Slavic epithets of the Virgin, corresponding to the word not bride, - Unskilled, Unskillfully married.

Chosen Voivode victorious… Almost all of us are accustomed to hearing these words as a whole, so we don’t feel the structure of the phrase (rather simple): (to whom?) Chosen Governor(We) let's write(What?) victorious thanksgiving, that is, a victorious thanksgiving song, (why?) like getting rid of the evil- because they got rid of troubles.

Glorious Ever-Virgin Mother of Christ God, bring our prayer to Your Son and our God, may our souls be saved by You.

Most Glorious Ever-Virgin, Mother of Christ God, bring our prayer to Your Son and our God, may our souls be saved by Your intercession.

I put all my hope in You, Mother of God, keep me under Your shelter.

I place all my hope in You, Mother of God, keep me under Your protection.

Virgin Mother of God, do not despise me a sinner, demanding Your help and Your intercession, my soul trusts in You, and have mercy on me.

Virgin Mother of God, do not despise me, a sinner who needs Your help and Your intercession, for my soul hopes in You, and have mercy on me.

ever-virgin- always Virgo.
by youHere: through You, Your intercession.
under the roof- covered, protected.
Do not despise me a sinner- do not neglect (do not disdain) me, a sinner.
Requiring Your help and Your intercession– in need of Your help and Your protection.
I trust in You because he trusts in you, he hopes.

The prayers “Glorious Ever-Virgin…” and “All my hope…” are the creations of St. John of Damascus.

Prayer of St. Joannicius

My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son, my protection is the Holy Spirit: Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son, my cover is the Holy Spirit: Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

Hope- firm hope, faith.
refuge- refuge, safe place.
Cover- protection, patronage, canopy.

The creator of this prayer, St. Ioanniky the Great, repeated it after each verse of the psalms he read on the rule, thus constantly elevating the mind to the Holy Trinity.

It is worthy to eat as truly blessed Thee, the Mother of God, the Blessed and Immaculate and Mother of our God. The most honest Cherubim and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, without the corruption of God the Word, who gave birth to the real Mother of God, we magnify You.

It is truly worthy to praise You, Mother of God, eternally blessed and immaculate and Mother of our God. Honored by the highest Cherubim and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim, who virginally gave birth to God the Word, the true Mother of God, we glorify Thee.

Worthy- should, should.
Yako truly- truly, in justice ( like- How).
bliss- praise.
blessed- always blessed ever- Always).
immaculate- the most immaculate.
Most Honorable Cherub- worthy of greater honor than the Cherubim.
The most glorious without comparison Seraphim- deserving incomparably greater glorification than the Seraphim.
Without decay- without compromising cleanliness.
Existing- valid.
Cherubim(in Hebrew this word means "outpouring of wisdom") and seraphim("flaming") - the highest Angels, closest to God.

In this prayer, we praise the Mother of God as the Mother of our God, always blessed and immaculate, and magnify Her, saying that She, with Her honor (most honest) and glory (most glorious), surpasses the highest Angels: Seraphim and Cherubim, that is, the Mother of God in her perfection stands above all - not only people, but also holy angels. Without illness, she miraculously gave birth to Jesus Christ from the Holy Spirit, Who, having become a man from Her, is at the same time the Son of God, descended from heaven, and therefore She is the true Mother of God.

Most Honorable Cherub

The author of the song “The Most Honorable Cherub…” is considered to be the Monk Cosmas, Bishop of Maium, creator of the canons. And the first part - "It is worthy to eat ...", according to legend, he sang in front of the icon Holy Mother of God An angel who appeared in the 10th century to a monk on Mount Athos.

Glory, and now: Lord, have mercy. (thrice)

Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.

We see that after those prayers that are final in the “Morning Prayers” section and are marked with the words “Ending of Prayers”, in the “Prayers for the Future Sleep” section (in most prayer books), some more prayers follow that are more directly related to going to bed (the prayer of St. John of Damascus is supposed to be read, pointing to the bed, when reading the prayer “Let God rise again”, the sign of the cross and the bed, and the four cardinal directions are overshadowed). One consequence of this is that we can more flexibly adapt general rule to their own conditions of life, to their inner state. So, for some people (or in some circumstances of life) it turns out to be more convenient to read the first part of prayers for sleep in the coming evening, early enough - perhaps before the complete completion of all affairs - and immediately before going to bed, already near your bed, read the remaining prayers. The joint reading of prayers for sleep in the future - for example, in a family - can be completed precisely on “It is worthy to eat ...” and a common blessing, and prayers, starting with the prayer of St. John of Damascus, can be read to everyone in their room, at their bed.

Prayer of Saint John of Damascus

Vladyka, Lover of mankind, will this coffin be for me, or will you still enlighten my accursed soul in the daytime? Seven coffin is before me, seven death is coming. I am afraid of Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil: I will always anger the Lord my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the heavenly powers, and my holy guardian angel. We know, O Lord, that I am not worthy of Thy love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, either I want it or I don't want it, save me. 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.

Vladyka Lover of mankind, will not this bed become a coffin for me now, or will you illuminate my unfortunate soul with the light of day? Here the coffin awaits me, here death awaits me. I am afraid of Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil deeds. I always anger you, my Lord, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the heavenly powers, and my holy Guardian Angel. I know, Lord, that I am not worthy of Thy love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, whether I want it or not, save me. After all, if you save the righteous, there is nothing great in this, and if you have mercy on the pure, there is nothing surprising, for they are worthy of Your mercy. But on me, a sinner, show Thy wondrous mercy, on me show Thy philanthropy, may my malice not surpass Thy unspeakable goodness and mercy, and in the way You want, correct my life.

Will this coffin be for me- will this bed (this bed) be my coffin now?
Enlighten in the afternoon- enlighten (the mind, the eyes of the heart) with the light of Your teaching. In another sense, give me one more day to repent.
Se- Here.
Mi- to me.
I do not stop doing evil- however (still) I do not stop (do not stop) doing evil deeds.
Vem badly - I know the same.
YakoHere: What.
Either I want or I don't want- either I want, or I do not want (salvation).
More than save the righteous- because if you save the righteous.
Nothing great- there is nothing great in this (veliy - great).
And if you have mercy on the pure, nothing marvelous- and if you have mercy on the pure, there is nothing surprising in this.
Worthy of the essence because they are worthy.
surprise mercy- Reveal Your marvelous mercy.
About thisHere: in this, this.
May my malice not overcome Your inexpressible goodness and mercy- so that because of my evil deeds I would not be deprived of Your inexpressible goodness and mercy.
Like you want, arrange a thing about me- just the way you want, fix my life.

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

Enlighten my eyes, O Christ God, lest I fall asleep in the sleep of death, lest my enemy say that he has overcome me.

Glory: 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.

Glory: Be the intercessor of my soul, O God, for I walk among many temptations; deliver me from them and save me, Good One, as a Lover of mankind.

And now: The Most Glorious Mother of God, and the Most Holy Angel of the Holy Angels, silently sing with heart and mouth, confessing this Mother of God, as if she truly gave birth to God, is incarnate, and praying unceasingly for our souls.

And now: The Most Glorious Mother of God, the Most Holy Angels, without ceasing to sing with heart and mouth, confessing Her to be the Theotokos, as having truly given birth to God in the flesh to us and praying unceasingly for our souls.

Like in the midst I walk the networks of many- for I walk among many temptations (temptations), the nets of the devil.
Let's remember silently- let us sing incessantly, tirelessly (not silent).
Mouth- mouth.
confessing this Mother of God- confessing Her as the Mother of God (testifying of Her as the Mother of God, glorifying Her as the Mother of God).

Mark yourself with the cross and say a prayer to 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.

Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let all who hate Him flee from His face. As smoke disappears, so let them disappear; as wax melts from the face of fire, so let the demons perish at the sight of those who love God and overshadow themselves with the sign of the cross and exclaim in joy: Rejoice, much-venerated 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 crushed the power the devil and who gave you to us, His glorious 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 forever. Amen.

May he rise again- according to the interpretation of the holy fathers, here the psalmist David (the beginning of the prayer coincides with the beginning of Psalm 67) prophesies about the Resurrection of Christ, and also about the fact that the power of the Lord who has risen and corrected the power of the devil will drive away the darkness of sin in the soul of those who love God.
Will be wasted- scatter, scatter.
Strike- enemies.
Yako- How.
Besi- demons.
On behalf of- meaning: before.
celebrating- overshadowing, imposing a sign on himself.
Those who speak- speaking.
Reverend- highly respected.
Chasing- chasing.
the goddamned- crucified.
corrected- crushed ( letters. trampled).
Who gave us His Honest Cross to you- who gave us you, His (i.e. Christ's) Honest Cross.
Honest- worthy of honors, glorious.
Adversary- adversary, enemy
To drive away every adversary- so that we can drive away (drive away) any enemy (adversary).
life-giving- giving life, resurrecting.

In this prayer, 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.

Or briefly:

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

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

fences- Protect, protect.

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.

Do good to the charitable- do good (good) to those who do good.

Izhe govern the sea- guide (the paths) of those (that are) in the sea, keep them.
travel- accompany, accompany.
Idezhe visits- where it shines (visit - visit, visit).
captive- in captivity.
deliver me- spare them.
From every circumstance- from any misfortune, disaster.
fruitful- bearing spiritual fruits, the fruits of repentance (as well as bearing the fruits of their labors).

Fruitful and virtuous... Compound words of this kind (formed from the combination of two or even more words) appeared in the Church Slavonic language in imitation of Greek, in which this method of word formation is extremely common (often as direct, literal translations, so-called calques, of Greek words). In Russian we say: “bearing fruit”, “doing good”. But many, many compound words entered Russian from the Church Slavonic language; For example, in the same prayer - philanthropists, travelers. There are a lot of words of this type in the next prayer (confession of sins).

Guide us in the path of Your commandments… For some reason, many people pronounce the Slavic word path with a hard “t”: path. Recall that there are Russian words of the same root: stitch (stitches-paths), stitch (when sewing), quilt.

The need for daily repentance for sins committed throughout life is explained by the words of St. Anthony the Great: “Say that you are sinners, and mourn everything that you have done in a state of negligence. For this, the favor of the Lord will be with you and will work in you: for He is good and forgives the sins of all who turn to Him, whoever they are, so that He will not remember them anymore. However, He wants those who have been pardoned themselves to remember the forgiveness of their sins that have been committed so far, so that, forgetting about that, they should not allow anything in their behavior to be such, because of which they will be forced to give an account of those sins that have already been forgiven them ... ".

Preserving and constantly renewing repentance for the sins of our life, not forgetting about them, we should not at the same time “convert them in our mind”, re-experience, cling to them with memory. This is one of the manifestations of the art of "invisible warfare", the middle "royal" path, which a Christian should follow.

This prayer helps to consider daytime sins and maintains the memory of those committed earlier - all the days of life. Let us recall that sins sincerely confessed in the Sacrament of Penance are completely forgiven by the Lord, but this does not mean that we should forget about them. Sins remain in memory for humility and contrition about the deed.

Both at confession in the Sacrament of Repentance, and at daily confession to God, one must confess one's sins separately, consciously. Therefore, let us dwell on the sins mentioned in the prayer and indicate what deeds, deeds, words and thoughts can be meant by them. In doing so, we are guided by the Orthodox catechism and the instructions of the ascetics of the Orthodox Church.

drunkenness, drunkenness, secret eating- sins associated with the passion of gluttony, which is one of the eight major passions. secret eating- eating food in secret (out of greed, shame or unwillingness to share, in case of breaking the fast, when eating unlawful food, etc.). The sins of gluttony also include polyphagy And guttural rage- a passion for the enjoyment of taste sensations, that is, gourmandism, so planted in our days. drug use And smoking also belong to the field of drunkenness; if you have suffered or are suffering from these sinful addictions, include them in the list of sins.

idle talk. Let us recall the terrible word of the Lord Himself: I tell you that for every idle word that people say, they will give an answer on the day of judgment: for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.(Matthew 12:36-37).

And here is the patristic recipe for how to behave if the situation and conversations in the company are conducive to idle talk: “If you don’t have a special need to stay, then leave; and when there is a need to stay, then turn your mind to prayer, not condemning idle talkers, but knowing your own weakness.” ( Reverend John the Prophet)

St. Ephraim the Syrian expands the concept of idle talk: “And what is an idle word? A promise of faith not kept in practice. A person believes and confesses Christ, but remains idle, does not do what Christ commanded. And in another case, the word is idle - namely, when a person confesses and does not correct himself, when he says that he repents, and sins again. And a bad review of another is an idle word, because it retells what has not been done and what it does not see.

Despondency. This sin is often directly related to idle talk:

“Despondency is often one of the branches, one of the first offspring of verbosity ... Despondency is the relaxation of the soul, the exhaustion of the mind ... a slanderer of God, as if He is unmerciful and inhumane; in psalmody it is weak, in prayer it is weak... in obedience it is hypocritical.” ( Saint John of the Ladder)

Laziness, as we see, is closely connected with the passion of despondency. The Orthodox catechism lists “laziness in relation to the teaching of piety, prayer and public worship” among the sins against the 1st commandment of the Law of God.

Rebuttal. “Bind your tongue, furiously striving for contradiction, and seventy times seven times a day fight with this tormentor,” the holy fathers teach in the words of John of the Ladder. “Whoever in a conversation stubbornly wishes to insist on his opinion, even if it is fair, let him know that he is possessed by a diabolical illness; and if he does this in conversation with his equals, then perhaps rebuking the elders will heal him; but if he treats those who are big and wise in this way, then this disease from people is incurable.”

Disobedience. “The one who disobeys the word without a doubt does not obey the deed, for whoever is unfaithful in word is adamant in deed,” – this is how St. John of the Ladder connects disobedience with contradiction. Everything in the Church is built on obedience; we must obey everyone and everyone whom the Lord has placed over us. Complete obedience in matters of spiritual life is necessary in relation to the spiritual father, in general, to pastors and spiritual teachers. But complete and unquestioning obedience (in everything that does not contradict the faith and the Law of God) should be rendered by the wife to her husband, the children who have not yet created their own family - to their parents. Obey your superiors.

slander- a direct violation of the 9th commandment of the Law of God ( Do not bear false witness against your neighbor– Ref. 20.16). Any slander, any gossip and gossip, any unfair censure is slander. Almost certainly leads to slander condemnation of a neighbor, directly forbidden by the Lord: Judge not lest ye be judged(Matthew 7:1).

neglect- negligent performance of the duties assigned to us by God, or even neglect of them. Neglect at work, neglect of one's household and family duties, neglect of prayer...

pride Abba Dorotheos calls the root of all passions, and St. Ephraim the Syrian - the mother of all evil.

Self-love is a passionate and reckless love of the body. Its opposite is love and temperance. Obviously, he who has self-love has all the passions.” ( Saint Maximus the Confessor)

Acquisition. Covetousness... is idolatry, - says the apostle Paul (Col. 3, 5). Acquisitiveness is the passion of greed, which is one of the eight main passions, in action: any hoarding, addiction to various objects, stinginess and, conversely, wastefulness.

Theft. This concept includes not only any theft, but also any use of what is “badly lying”: for example, “read out” a book in the library or with friends. A particularly severe type of theft is sacrilege - “appropriation of what is dedicated to God and what belongs to the Church” (see “Orthodox Catechism”), that is, not only the direct theft of sacred objects, but also: to take, without asking for the priest’s blessing, donated on the eve or brought to the temple by benefactors for distribution, etc.

untruthfulness- any lie with a word. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who speak the truth are pleasing to Him(Prov. 12:22).

We must remember that there is no "innocent" lie, any lie is not from God. “A lie, in which there is no intention to harm one’s neighbor, is impermissible, because it does not agree with love and respect for one’s neighbor and is not worthy of a person, and especially a Christian, created for truth and love,” says St. Philaret in his “Orthodox Catechism.”

bad business- making a profit, profit in a bad, unrighteous way. The concept can include any body kit, measurement, deceit, but also any earnings that bring evil to people - for example, based on the satisfaction or incitement of sinful passions. The falsification of any documents and the use of forged documents (for example, travel tickets), the purchase of stolen goods on the cheap are also bad business. This also includes parasitism, “when they receive a salary for a position or pay for a business, but they do not fulfill their positions and deeds and, thus, they steal both the salary or pay, and the benefit that labor could bring to society or to the one for whom they should have worked. ” (see “Orthodox Catechism”).

mischief- covetousness, greed mshela- gain. This includes all types of extortion and bribery. And, since this sin is included in the prayer of repentance for all Orthodox Christians, you should carefully consider your life and discover its manifestations in it.

Jealousy- jealousy of all kinds.

Envy.“Whoever envies his neighbor rebels against God, the giver of gifts.” ( Saint John Chrysostom)

“... Envy and rivalry are a terrible poison: slander, hatred and murder are born from them.” ( Venerable Ephraim the Syrian)

Anger one of the eight major passions.

“For whatever reason, the movement of anger kindles, it blinds the eyes of the heart and, putting a cover on the sharpness of mental vision, does not allow the Sun of truth to be seen. It doesn't matter whether it is a gold leaf, or lead, or from some other metal it will be superimposed on the eyes - the value of metals does not make a difference in blinding. ( Rev. John Cassian the Roman)

memory malice“there is the last limit of anger, the keeping in memory of sins against our neighbor, the aversion of the image of justification (God has determined: “forgive and it will be forgiven” - cf.: Lk. 6, 37), the destruction of all former virtues, a soul-destroying poison, a worm gnawing the heart, shame to pray (as you say: “leave it, like we…”?), a nail driven into the soul, unceasing sin, vigilant lawlessness, hourly evil.” ( Saint John of the Ladder)

“If you bear a grudge against someone, pray for him; and, by prayer separating sorrow from the memory of the evil he has done you, you will stop the movement of passion; if you become friendly and philanthropic, you will completely banish passion from your soul.” ( Saint Maximus the Confessor)

Hatred. He who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.(1 John 2:11). Whoever hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him(1 John 3:15). Whoever says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, is a liar: for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?(1 John 4:20).

covetousness- “when, under the guise of some right, but in reality with a violation of justice and philanthropy, they turn for their own benefit the property of others or the labor of others, or even the very misfortunes of their neighbors, for example, when lenders burden debtors with growth (loan interest), when owners exhaust those who depend from them by excessive taxes or work, if during the famine they sell bread at too high a price” (see “Orthodox Catechism”). In a broad sense, the word covetousness means in general covetousness, greed (passion for avarice); in this sense the word is used in the New Testament (Rom. 1:29; 2 Cor. 9:5; Eph. 4:19 and 5:3; Col. 3:5).

Serious sins committed during life, from among those that are not directly named in this prayer, should be included in it, and not “summed up” under one of the points (for example, blasphemy, grumbling against God, or attempting suicide, or killing the unborn children - abortion, etc.). In particular, this list does not contain sins related to the passion of fornication (and among them such as adultery and any extramarital cohabitation, and all violations of purity and chastity), and to the passion of pride, which is rightfully considered the most terrible of passions.

When you go to sleep, say:

In Your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, I commit my spirit: You bless me, You have mercy on me and grant me eternal life. Amen.

Into Your hands, O Lord, I commit my soul. Bless me, have mercy on me and grant me eternal life. Amen.

In Your hand, Lord… I betray my spirit. These are the dying words on the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ: Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: Father! into your hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he gave up his spirit(Lk. 23, 46).

So it was in the beginning, so it is now, so it will be forever and ever!
Amen!

Optina Elders

Lord, give me the strength to face the coming day with peace of mind! Let me completely surrender to Your holy will for every hour of today! Reveal to me Your will for me and those around me! Whatever news I receive during this day, teach me to accept it with a calm soul and firm conviction that everything is Thy holy will. Guide my thoughts and feelings and do not let me forget that everything is sent down by You!
Teach me to act correctly and wisely with every name in society, my family, without embarrassing anyone, without upsetting, helping in everything, comforting and delighting. Give me strength to endure the fatigue of the coming day and all the events of this day. Guide my will, Lord, teach me to pray to You, to believe, to hope, to endure, to forgive and to love!
Amen!

Prayer of Francis of Assisi

God,
Make me an instrument of your world
And let me transform:
hate in Love,
Resentment in forgiveness,
Doubt in faith,
Despair in hope,
darkness in light,
And sadness in joy.

Oh Divine Sovereign,
Grant me the ability
not seek solace, but comfort;
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.
Amen.

Turning to the Lord

Lord, everything I have belongs to You. Use me for the triumph and glory of Your Kingdom. I do Your will. Your love, Your wisdom and Your power are manifested through me.
Amen.

And it will be so! I so want! I am your daughter (because I am your son), my Father who exists everywhere.

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.
