O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
deliver us from the seductions of the coming antichrist, abhorred by God and
crafty in evil, and from all his snares. Protect us and all our Christian
neighbors from his devious nets, keeping us in the hidden refuge of Thy
salvation. Grant, O Lord, that our fear of the devil may not be greater than
our fear of Thee, and that we not fall away from Thee and Thy Holy Church. But
instead, grant us, O Lord, to suffer and die for Thy holy Name and for the
Orthodox faith, and never to deny Thee, nor to receive the marks of the cursed
antichrist, nor to worship him. Grant us, O Lord, day and night, tears and
lamentation for our sins, and on the day of Thy dread Judgment, O Lord, grant
us pardon. Amen.
