God!

Like your mother,

coming after Thee in firmness and hope,

Thou hast formed in Thy heart

sacred words,

so shall we also compose these words,

so that in the dark night of life they will

strengthened and gave us strength.

***

Mother of God,

pray for us,

grieving, dejected, sinners,

who also have a choice:

or the Lord shall be for us to fall;

or for rebellion.

Amen.

Prayer for Sundays of Great Lent

I believe, O Lord, but Thou shalt establish

my faith.

I trust, O Lord, but strengthen my hope.

I have loved Thee, O Lord, but Thou hast purified my love and kindled it.

I am grieved, O Lord, but Thou shalt do it;

that I may increase my repentance.

I revere Thee, my Creator, I sigh

in Thee, I call upon Thee.

But guide me with Thy wisdom, protect and strengthen me.

I commit to Thee, O my God,

My thoughts,

let them proceed from Thee.

Let my works be done according to Thy will.

Enlighten my mind, strengthen my will,

Cleanse the body, sanctify the soul.

Да узрю мои прегрешения, да не прельщусь гордостью,

помоги мне побеждать искушения.

Да славлю Тебя во все дни жизни, которые Ты даровал мне.

Аминь.

Prayers before confession

Lord, you are our first and last love, you are the one for whom we live, in whom we live,

To Whom we aspire,
