Welcome,
Fellow follower of Christ,
And good morning to you.
This is a prayer from the Orthodox Christian faith,
Designed to connect you with God,
To send him his righteous praise,
And to set you up properly for the day ahead.
And so,
Please make the sign of the cross now,
And repeat after me.
In the name of the Father,
And the Son,
And the Holy Spirit.
Glory to you,
Our God.
Glory to you.
Heavenly King,
Comforter,
The Spirit of Truth,
Who are present everywhere,
Filling all things.
Treasury of good things,
And giver of life,
Come dwell in us.
Cleanse us of every stain,
And save our souls,
Gracious Lord.
Holy God,
Holy Mighty,
Holy Immortal,
Have mercy on us.
Holy God,
Holy Mighty,
Holy Immortal,
Have mercy on us.
Holy God,
Holy Mighty,
Holy Immortal,
Have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit,
Now and forever,
And to the ages of ages.
All Holy Trinity,
Have mercy on us.
Lord,
Forgive us our sins.
Master,
Pardon our transgressions.
Holy One,
Visit and heal our infirmities,
For your name's sake.
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
Glory to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit,
Now and forever,
And to the ages of ages.
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power,
And the glory,
Forever and ever.
In Jesus' name we pray,
And now let's have a moment of silence.
Repeat again after me,
Having risen from sleep,
We fall before you,
O good one.
And sing to you,
Mighty one,
The angelic hymn.
Holy,
Holy,
Holy are you,
O God.
Through the prayers of the Theotokos,
Have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.
Having aroused me from sleep and bed,
O Lord,
Enlighten my mind,
And open my heart and lips that I may sing to you,
Holy Trinity.
Holy,
Holy,
Holy are you,
O God.
Through the prayers of the Theotokos,
Have mercy on us.
Now and forever,
And to the ages of ages.
Suddenly,
The judge will come,
And everyone's deeds will be revealed,
But with awe we cry out in the middle of the night,
Holy,
Holy,
Holy are you,
O God.
Through the prayers of the Theotokos,
Have mercy on us.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Lord,
Have mercy.
Have mercy.
Now,
A moment of silence.
Thank you for joining us this morning,
Fellow follower of Christ,
And blessed be to our great creator.
Feel his presence this day,
And pray to him unceasingly,
Always remembering him,
Always giving praise to him,
And leaning on him in your moments of struggle.
Time to pick up your cross,
Dear one,
And face the day.
