3rd Prayer, to the Holy Spirit

O Lord, the Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth: have

compassion and mercy on me, Thy sinful servant! Absolve me, who am

unworthy. Forgive all the sins I have committed this day both in my

humanity and my inhumanity, behaving worse than beasts in sins voluntary

and involuntary, known and unknown, from my youth, from evil suggestions,

haste and despondency. If I have sworn by Thy name or blasphemed it in

thought; if I have reproached anyone or become angered by something; or

slandered or saddened anyone in my anger; or have lied, or slept

unnecessarily; or a beggar has come to me and I have despised him; or

have saddened my brother or quarrelled with him; or have judged someone;

or have allowed myself to become haughty, proud or angry; or, when

standing in prayer, my mind has been shaken by the wickedness of this

world; or have entertained depraved thoughts; or have over-eaten,

over-drunk or laughed mindlessly; or have had evil thoughts or seen the

beauty of someone and been wounded by it in my heart; or have spoken

inappropriately; or have laughed at my brother's sins when my own

transgressions are countless; or have been indifferent to prayer; or have

done any other evil that I can not remember--for I have done all this and

more: have mercy, O Master, my Creator, on me, Thy despondent and

unworthy servant! Absolve, remit and forgive me, in Thy goodness and love

for mankind, that I, who am prodigal, sinful and wretched, may lie down

in peace and find sleep and rest. May I worship, hymn and praise Thy most

honorable Name, with the Father and His only-begotten Son, now and ever

and unto ages of ages. Amen.
