O Christ God, Who art worshipped and glorified at every place and time;
Who art long-suffering, most merciful and compassionate; Who lovest the
righteous and art merciful to sinners; Who callest all to salvation with
the promise of good things to come: receive, Lord, the prayers we now
offer, and direct our lives in the way of Thy commandments. Sanctify our
souls, cleanse our bodies, correct our thoughts, purify our minds and
deliver us from all affliction, evil and illness. Surround us with Thy
holy angels, that guarded and instructed by their forces, we may reach
unity of faith and the understanding of Thine unapproachable glory: for
blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen.
