Lord, Compassionate and Merciful, Long-Suffering and Full of

1st PRAYER
Lord, compassionate and merciful, long-suffering and full of

mercy, listen to our prayer and attend to the voice of our
supplication. Make for us a sign for good. Guide us in your
way, to walk in your truth. Make glad our hearts to fear your
holy Name, because you are great and do wondrous things. You alone are
God, and there is none like you, O Lord, among gods: powerful in mercy
and loving in strength to help and to console and to save all who hope in
your holy Name.
For to you belong all glory, honour and worship, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
2nd PRAYER
ord, do not rebuke us in your anger, nor chastise us in your wrath,
but deal with us in accordance with your kindness, physician and
healer of our souls. Guide us to the harbour of your will. Enlighten
the eyes of our hearts to the knowledge of your truth and grant
that the rest of the present day and the whole time of our life may be
peaceful and without sin, at the prayers of the holy Mother of God and of
all the Saints.
For yours is the might, and yours is the kingdom, the power and the
glory, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of
ages. Amen.
3rd PRAYER
ord our God, remember us, sinners and your unprofitable
servants, as we call upon your holy Name, and do not put us to
shame from the expectation of your mercy, but graciously grant us,
Lord, all the requests that are for salvation, and count us worthy to
love and to fear you from our whole heart, and in all things to do your will.
For you, O God, are good and love mankind, and to you we give
ages. Amen.
4th PRAYER
Lord, who are praised by the holy Powers with never silent
hymns and unceasing songs of glory, fill our mouth with your
praise to give majesty to your holy Name, and give us a part and
an inheritance with all who fear you in truth and who keep your
commandments, at the prayers of the holy Mother of God and of all your
Saints.
For to you belong all glory, honour and worship, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
5th PRAYER
ord, Lord, who uphold the universe by your immaculate hand,
who are long-suffering towards us all and who repent of evils,
remember your acts of compassion and your mercy. Visit us in
your loving kindness and grant that for the rest of the present day
we may escape the manifold wiles of the evil one, and, by the grace of your
All-holy Spirit, keep our life free from assault.
By the mercy and love for mankind of your Only-begotten Son, with
whom you are blessed, together with your all-holy, good and life-giving
Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
6th PRAYER
God, great and wonderful, who order the universe with
inexpressible loving-kindness and rich providence; who have
granted us also the blessings of this world and brought us near to
the promised Kingdom through the blessings that have been
bestowed on us already; who have made us turn aside from every evil
during that part of the present day which is now over, grant us also to
complete what remains without blame in the presence of your holy glory,
as we sing your praise, who alone are our God, good and the Lover of
mankind.
For you are our God, and to you we give glory, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
7th PRAYER
reat and most high God, who alone possess immortality, who dwell
in unapproachable light, who fashioned all creation with wisdom,
who made the separation between the light and the darkness and
who placed the sun to have authority over the day and the moon
and the stars to have authority over the night, who have counted us sinners
worthy even at this present hour to come into your presence with
confession and thanksgiving and to offer you our evening hymn of glory;
do you, O Lord who love mankind, direct our prayer like incense before
you and accept it as a savour of sweet fragrance. Grant us that the present
evening and the coming night may be peaceful, clothe us with weapons of
light, deliver us from every night-time fear and from every deed that walks
in darkness. And give us sleep, which you have bestowed on us for our rest
in our weakness, freed from every fantasy of the devil. Yes, Master of all
things, giver of blessings, may we also be filled with compunction on our
beds and call to mind your Name in the night, and enlightened by
meditation on your commandments may we rise with gladness of soul to
give glory to your loving-kindness, as we bring to your compassion
prayers and entreaties1 on behalf of our own sins and those of all your
people. At the prayers of the holy Mother of God visit them with mercy.
For you, O God, are good and love mankind, and to you we give
ages. Amen.
