Let us pray to the Lord

Lord, have mercy


O Lord Who alone art rich in mercy, and in the lovingkindness of Thy goodness dost hearken to the supplication of us, Thy sinful and unworthy servants including our brother ndykamel and his family, arranging and directing us all toward our benefit, guiding our life by Thy wise providence, and in every way desiring our salvation

Who by nature art long-suffering and great in mercy; Who dost chastise and healest again

Who dost rebuke gently and with love for man, not to destroy the work of Thy hands, but to bring it to its primal goodness and to its original nobility, which we have destroyed in the feebleness of our understanding and by the counsel of the most accursed one

Who desirest to restore it, and Who lookest how Thy mightest, in any way, save that which hath come to grief through the fall

Do Thou Thyself, O almighty Master, look down upon us, and hearken to the entreaties of us sinners

For the multitude of our iniquities hath rendered us bereft of boldness; nor do we in anywise dare to ask forgiveness for our transgressions

But knowing Thy love for mankind, Thy lovingkindness, Thy surpassing mercy, long-suffering, guilelessness and exceeding great goodness, and trusting in the depth thereof, and in the abyss of Thy beneficence, we lift up our hands and fervently cry aloud to Thee

We have sinned, we have committed iniquities, we have dealt unjustly, in that we have forgotten Thy commandments, and have followed after our wicked thoughts, and have lived in a manner unworthy of the name and Gospel of Christ, and His sufferings, and His self-abasement for our sake, so that we have become a reproach unto those who love Thee

Thy priests and Thy people have we astonished, and we have all turned aside and are become unprofitable: there is not one who rendereth justice and righteousness, no not one

We have cut off Thy compassions, Thy love for mankind, and the lovingkindness of the mercy of Thee our God, because of our malice and the wickedness of the undertakings whereby we have lived. Thou art long-suffering; but we deserve scourgings

We know Thy goodness, even though we are ignorant. We have been stricken lightly considering those things wherein we have offended

Thou art awesome; who can withstand Thee? Thou makest the mountains to quake; and who can speak against the magnitude of Thine arm? If Thou wilt shut up heaven, who will open it? And if Thou wilt close Thy floodgates, who will survive it

An easy matter is it in Thine eyes to make poor and to enrich, to give life and to slay, to afflict with illness and to heal: Thy least wish is a deed already accomplished

Thou hast become wroth, and we have committed offense; none of the ancients speaketh, confessing

Time is against us saying: We have sinned, and Thou hast become angered against us; wherefore, we have become a reproach to our neighbors

Thou hast turned Thy face away, and we have filled ourselves with dishonor

But still Thy wrath, O Lord; absolve, O Lord; have mercy, O Lord, and forsake us not utterly because of our iniquities, neither punish Thou others with our wounds

Grant that we may become chaste through the sufferings of others

We are Thy people and the rod of Thine inheritance
Wherefore, chastise us, though in goodness and not in Thine ire, that Thou mayest not cause us to diminish, lest we become abased more than all who live on the earth; for Thy mercy is ineffable, Thy love of mankind is insuperable, and the wealth of Thy goodness is incalculable; and, trusting therein, we pray and make supplication, bending the knees of our hearts

Cease Thou to cut us with the edge of Thy wrath, we beg Thee earnestly, as of old, in David's time, Thou didst act toward Thy people, if we show due repentance; but as Thou art all-good, put aside Thine anger and quell Thou Thy just wrath, and grant health to those who are suffering, strength to those who are enfeebled, and preserve them in good health

Drive every ailment and disease from Thy people; free all from the expectation thereof, keeping them unassailed by their former infirmity, and by Thine almighty arm maintain them untouched by this cruel misery and pernicious affliction: for truly the raging of Thy wrath hath shaken and troubled us all

And though we are not turning in every way from our wicked deeds, yet do Thou Thyself deliver us all from an evil conscience, and grant that we may be well-pleasing unto Thee in every good work

Through the supplications of the pure Mother of God, the Ever-virgin Mary, who gave birth unto Thee without having known man, and by the intercession of the holy angels who gaze upon God, and of all the saints

For Thou art the well-spring of mercy and the inexhaustible abyss of lovingkindness, and we send up glory unto Thee, and Thine unoriginate Father and Thine all-holy, good and life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages
Amen

To our Lord Jesus Christ

In the deep of old the infinite Power overwhelmed Pharoah's whole army. But the Incarnate Word annihilated pernicious sin. Exceedingly glorious is the Lord, for gloriously has He been glorified

Sweetest Jesus, save us
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages
Amen

Theotokion: Enlighten our minds and transfigure our hearts, O Virgin, with the radiance of the Light which shone through thee, dispelling the darkness of sin and dissolving the gloom
of our indolence

O Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, our God, through Thy ineffable love for men Thou wast wrapped in flesh, at the end of the ages, from the EverVirgin Mary. We glorify Thy saving providence and care for us, Thy servants, O Lord. We praise Thee through Whom we have learned to know the Father. We bless Thee through Whom the Holy Spirit came into the world. We bow to Thy most Holy Mother who served for the dread mystery of Thy Incarnation. We praise the Angelic Choir as the servants and singers of Thy Majesty. We beatify Saint John the Forerunner who baptized Thee, O Lord. We honour also the Prophets who announced Thee. We glorify Thy Holy Apostles. We celebrate the Martyrs. We praise Thy Priests. We venerate Thy Saints and sing to all the Just. We, Thy servants, offer to Thee, our all-generous God, this countless and unutterable Divine Choir as intercessors, and pray: Grant us the forgiveness of our sins for the sake of all Thy Saints, but especially for the sake of Thy holy generosity, for Thou art blessed for ever
Amen
