***

O Lord, of Thy heavenly bounties deprive me not.
O Lord, deliver me from the eternal torments.
O Lord, forgive me if I have sinned in my mind
or my thought, whether in word or in deed.

O Lord, free me from all ignorance and forgetfulness,
from despondency and stony insensibility.

O Lord, deliver me from every temptation.
O Lord, enlighten my heart which evil desires have darkened.
O Lord, as a man I have sinned, have though mercy on me,
as the God full of compasion, seeing the feebleness of my soul.

O Lord, send down Thy grace to help me, that I may glorify Thy name.
O Lord Jesus Christ, write me down in the book of life
and grant unto me a good end.

O Lord my God, even if I had not done anything good before Thee,
do Thou help me, in Thy grace, to make a good beginning.

O Lord my God, even if I had not done anything good before Thee,
do Thou help me, in Thy grace,

to make a good beginning.

O Lord, sprinkle into my heart the dew of Thy grace.
O Lord of heaven and earth, remember me, Thy sinful servant,
full of shame and imurity, in Thy kingdom. Amen

O Lord, receive me in my penitence.
O Lord, forsake me not.
O Lord, lead me not into misfortune.
O Lord, quicken in me a good thought.
O Lord, give me tears and remembrance of death, and contrition.
O Lord, make me solicitous of confessing my sins.

O Lord, give me fumility, chastity and obedience.
O Lord, give me patience, magnanimity and meekness.
O Lord, implant in me the root of all good - Thy fear in my heart.
O Lord, vouchsafe that I may love Thee
from all my soul and mind and in everything do Thy will.

O Lord, shelter me from certain men, from demons and passions,
and from any other unbecoming thing.

O Lord, Thou knowest that Thou dost as Thy willest,
let then Thy will be done in me, sinner,
for blessed art Thou unto the ages. Amen.
