_Having awakened, arise from your bed without laziness and, having
gathered your thoughts, make the Sign of the Cross, saying:_
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
_Afterwards, stand in silence for a few moments until all your senses are
calmed. At that point, make three prostrations, saying:_
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
_Then, begin the Morning Prayers with these words:_
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of Thy most pure
Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.
Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth Who art everywhere
and fillest all things. Treasury of Blessings and Giver of Life: Come and
abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O
Good One.
