O Lord, vouchsafe, this day to be good and without sin. O Lord, do not abandon me to the counsel of mine enemies, neither depart from me. O Lord, deliver me from the domination of the passions and the burning of pleasures. O Lord, grant me a guiding hand and strengthen me in Thy fear. O Lord, grant compunction and humility of heart, that I may weep for my transgressions. O Lord, grant me patience in temptations and discernment. O Lord, cleanse me from ignorance, slothfulness, and hardheartedness. O Lord, deliver me from corrupting associations and from consent to evil thoughts. O Lord, drive from me forgetfulness, stony insensibility, and captivity of mind. O Lord, shelter me from the warfare of fornication. Lord, implant in me hatred for pleasures, and grant me a virtuous and shameless life, and direct me in the way of Thy commandments. Through the intercessions of our all-immaculate Lady the Theotokos, and of all Thy Saints, for blessed art Thou unto the ages of ages. Amen.
