You have given us the joy of communicating with each other, and we talk about all sorts of trifles and most often blaspheme and condemn each other!

***

Forgive us, Lord, for living as if You have forgotten us, as if we are valuable in our own right, and not just in the light of Your life.

Lord, forgive us for not sanctifying our lives.

Lord, forgive us for being superstitious.

Forgive us for the fact that we are always tormented by fears, fears and anxieties. Trembling and fear in us from lack of faith, despondency –

from lack of faith, disgust for the world around — from lack of faith.

Lord, forgive us for not knowing how to be patient in difficult circumstances, courageous, firm and faithful to You.

Lord, forgive us for our unwillingness to do Thy will, for not having humility before Thee, for not being able to see Thee in temptation

and illness, in difficult circumstances of life.

***

Forgive us, Lord, for not keeping Your main commandments.

Forgive us for being irritable, spiteful, angry, hot-tempered, suspicious, poisonous, vicious, for always being ready to see the shortcomings of others, for easily exalting ourselves, justifying ourselves, and forgiving ourselves everything.

Forgive us for every lie, unrighteousness in life, for all deceit, for deceit, slander, slander, vainness, for perjury in court, for deceit, for duplicity!

Forgive us, Lord, for our Phariseeism, when we wanted to show our piety, our piety, or boast of our good deeds, so that people would approve of us.

Forgive, Lord, for our intemperate tongue, for idle talk and chatter, for the fact that we think of people worse than they are, for the fact that we cannot restrain our passions, beginning with simple gluttony and ending with sensuality and pride.

Forgive us for the children whom we did not let into this life, whom we killed, destroyed, shed their blood. The guilt here is great.
