Pour a wealth of generosity for all, O you who bore the Benefactor, the Cause of all good. You can do anything, for G.o.d has blessed you, the Bearer of Christ Who is mighty in strength.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Help me, O Virgin, for I am cruelly tried by severe illness and painful afflictions. I know, Ever-Undefiled One, that you are an inexhaustible and generous treasury of healings.
Canon to the Guardian Angel
Holy Angel of the Lord, my Guardian, pray to G.o.d for me, a sinner!
I have laid all my thoughts and my soul before you, my Guardian. Deliver me from every a.s.sault of the Enemy.
Holy Angel of the Lord, my Guardian, pray to G.o.d for me, a sinner!
The Enemy humiliates and oppresses me and teaches me always to do his will. But you, my Instructor, leave me not to peris.h.!.+
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Grant me with thanksgiving and fervor to sing a hymn to my Creator and G.o.d and to you my good Guardian Angel. Free me from my oppressive enemies, O my Deliverer.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Heal, Most Pure One, the most painful wounds of my soul and drive off the enemies that are constantly warring against me.
Lord have mercy! (3 times)
Sessional Hymn, Tone 6
I think of the Dread Day and weep over my evil deeds. How shall I answer the immortal King? Or how shall a prodigal like me dare to look up at the judge? O compa.s.sionate Father, only-begotten Son, and Holy Spirit: have mercy on me!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Sessional Hymn, Tone 2
In fervent love I cry to you, O Guardian of my soul, my all-holy Angel: protect me and keep me always from the entrapment of the evil one. Direct me to the heavenly life, enlightening, illumining, and strengthening me.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Kontakion, Tone 6
Steadfast protectress of Christians, constant advocate before the Creator: do not despise the cry of us sinners, but in your goodness come speedily to help us who call on you in faith. Hasten to hear our pet.i.tion and to intercede for us, O Theotokos, for you always protect those who honor you.
ODE 4
Irmos: "Christ is my strength, my G.o.d and my Lord"--the sacred Church reverently sings with a mighty voice, rejoicing in the Lord.
Canon of Repentance
Have mercy on me, O G.o.d, have mercy on me!
Our present path is wide and conducive to pleasures, but bitter will the Last Day be when the soul will part from the body. O man, beware of those pleasures, for the sake of the Kingdom of G.o.d.
Have mercy on me, O G.o.d, have mercy on me!
Why do you mistreat the poor? Why do you withhold the worker's pay? Why do you not love your brother? Why do you pursue l.u.s.t and pride? Abandon all that, my soul, and repent for the sake of the Kingdom of G.o.d.
Have mercy on me, O G.o.d, have mercy on me!
O foolish man! How long will you bustle like a bee, gathering your wealth? It will soon perish like dust and ashes. Seek rather the Kingdom of G.o.d.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Have mercy on me a sinner, O Lady Theotokos, and strengthen me in virtues. Protect me, so that insolent death may not seize me unprepared, and bring me, O Virgin, to the Kingdom of G.o.d.
Canon to the Theotokos
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
O Bride of G.o.d, who bore the Lord Pilot, still the tumult of my pa.s.sions and the storm of my transgressions.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Grant me the abyss of your kindness, upon which I call, O you who gave birth to the Compa.s.sionate One, the Savior of those who hymn you.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Enjoying your gifts, O Pure One, we sing a hymn of thanksgiving to you whom we know to be the Mother of G.o.d.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
