A complete Orthodox prayer book. For every need

Lord, have mercy (three times).

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

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

Troparia

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us; For every answer is perplexed, we offer this prayer to Thee, as the Lord of sinners: have mercy on us.

Glory: O Lord, have mercy on us, for in Thee we trust; Do not be angry with us, remember our iniquities below, but look upon us now as gracious, and deliver us from our enemies; For Thou art our God, and we are Thy people, all the works of Thy hand, and we call upon Thy name.

And now: Open the doors of mercy to us, O blessed Mother of God, that we may not perish who trust in Thee, but that we may be delivered from troubles by Thee: for Thou art the salvation of the Christian race.

Lord, have mercy (12 times).

Prayer 1, of St. Macarius the Great, to God the Father

O Eternal God and King of all creation, Who has vouchsafed me even in this hour, forgive me the sins which I have committed on this day in deed, word, and thought, and cleanse, O Lord, my humble soul from all defilement of flesh and spirit. And grant me, O Lord, to pass away in peace in this night, that I may arise from my humble bed, and please Thy most holy name all the days of my life, and that I may overwhelm the enemies of the flesh and the bodiless who fight against me. And deliver me, O Lord, from vain thoughts that defile me, and from evil lusts. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

2nd Prayer of St. Antiochus to our Lord Jesus Christ

O Almighty, O Word of the Father, Thou art Thyself perfect, O Jesus Christ, for the sake of Thy mercy never depart from me, Thy servant, but always rest in me. Jesus, good Shepherd of Thy sheep, give me not over to the sedition of the serpent, and do not leave me to the desire of Satan, for the seed of corruption is in me. For Thou, O Lord God, worshipped of the Holy King, Jesus Christ, preserve me as I sleep with an unflickering light, by Thy Holy Spirit, Whom Thou didst sanctify Thy disciples. Grant me, O Lord, Thy unworthy servant, Thy salvation upon my couch: enlighten my mind with the light of the mind of Thy holy Gospel, my soul with the love of Thy Cross, my heart with the purity of Thy word, my body with Thy passionless passion, preserve my mind with Thy humility, and raise me up in time like Thy doxology. For Thou art most glorified with Thy Father, Who has no beginning, and with the Most Holy Spirit unto the ages. Amen.

Prayer 3, to the Most Holy Spirit

O Lord, O Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, have mercy on me and have mercy on me Thy sinful servant, and forgive me the unworthy, and forgive all those who have sinned today as a man, moreover and not as a man, but also more bitter than cattle, my sins voluntary and involuntary, known and unknown: those who are evil from youth and science, and who are from insolence and despondency.
