_And the following TROPARIA, TONE 8:_
Disregard my iniquities, O Lord Who wast born of a Virgin! Cleanse my
heart and make it a temple of Thy most pure Body and Blood. Turn me not
away from Thy countenance, for Thy great mercy is immeasurable.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
How dare I partake of Thy Holiness in my unworthiness? Even if I dare to
approach Thee with the worthy, my garment accuses me, for it is not a
wedding-garment, and I secure the condemnation of my most sinful soul.
Cleanse, O Lord, the defilement of my soul and save me, for Thou lovest
mankind.
Now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Great is the multitude of my sins, O Theotokos! I come to you, O Pure
One, in need of salvation. Visit my ailing soul, O You who alone are
blessed, and pray to your Son and our God that He absolve the evil I have
done.
_NOTE: On Great and Holy Thursday, the following TROPARION is used, in
TONE 8:_
When the glorious disciples were enlightened at the washing of their feet
before the supper, then the impious Judas was darkened, ailing with
avarice, and to the lawless judges he betrayed Thee, the Righteous Judge.
Behold, O lover of money, this man who because of money hanged himself.
Flee from the greedy soul which dared such things against the Master. O
Lord Who art good towards all men, glory to Thee!
