9 Who with the Father and Holy Spirit lives unto ages of ages, amen. Reverence and kiss her image, then say: I entreat and beseech thee, Saint N., in the name of the Lord, that thou wouldest deign to keep me in thy prayers, so that the enemy and adversary may not at any time have the power to harm me. Lord, I have sinned before Thee and before Thine angels. Deal with me in Thy mercy, O Lord. Heal me, and I shall be healed, for Thou art my healing and salvation, and let my prayer come before Thy holy temple. Honour and power be Thine for ages of ages, amen. Reverence and kiss all the holy images. Then say: O holy angel of God, minister of the heavenly dominion, to whom almighty God has assigned my care! By His majesty and loving-kindness, I humbly beseech thee to preserve my soul and my body and all my senses from harmful, vain, and impure thoughts, and from the illusions of the wicked spirits, from defilement of mind and body, and from the wiles of my visible and invisible enemies who hunt after my soul. And be a watchful protector to me, wherever I may go, by day and by night, every hour and minute, and keep me in clean deeds, and strengthen me in the fear and love of Jesus Christ by thy holy prayers. And after this wretched and fallen life, lead my soul to eternal joy, where it may exult with God and all the saints without end, 9 our Lord Jesus Christ bestowing it. For honour and glory are His, unto ages of ages, amen. O Lord Jesus Christ, as I rise in the morning, attend unto me and govern mine actions and my words and my thoughts, that I may pass the whole day within Thy will. Grant me Thy fear, Lord, compunction of heart, lowliness of mind, and a pure conscience, that I may scorn the world, ponder heaven, hate sin, and love righteousness. Take from my heart the cares of the world. Wrench from me, Lord, the appetite for gluttony, the desire for fornication, the love of money, the plague of irritability, the sadness of this world, listlessness, empty joy, and worldly pride. O Lord, plant in me the virtues: an abstinent body’s self-containment, chastity, humility, and unfeigned brotherly love. Lord, guard my mouth that I may not speak empty words, nor tell worldly tales, nor detract others in their absence, that I may not curse my parents, that I may not answer cursing with cursing, et Spíritu Sancto in sǽcula sæculórum, amen. Reverence and kiss her image, then turn to that of your patron saint and say: Praecor te et rogo, sancte N., in nómine Dómini, uti dignéris me in oratiónibus tuis habére, ne inimícus et adversárius ullo témpore váleat nocére me. Dómine, peccávi ante Te et ante ángelos Tuos. Fac mecum in Tua misericórdia, Dómine. Sana me et sanábor, quia Tu es salus mea, et véniat orátio mea in conspéctum sancti templi Tui. Tuus sit honor et virtus in sǽcula sæculórum, amen. Reverence and kiss all the holy images. Then say: O sancte ángele Dei, miníster cæléstis impérii, cui Deus omnípotens mei custódiam deputávit! Per majestátem ejus et pietátem te humíliter déprecor ut custódias ánimam meam et corpus meum et omnes sensus meos a pravis et illícitis desidériis, a nóxiis, vanis, et immúndis cogitatiónibus, et ab illusiónibus malignórum spirítuum, a pollutióne mentis et córporis, et ab insídiis inimicórum meórum, visibílium et invisibílium quæréntium ánimam meam. Et sis michi protéctor tutus, ubicúmque íero, diébus et nóctibus, horis atque moméntis, et consérva me in mundo ópere, et confírma me in timóre et amóre Jesu Christi cum sanctis desidériis. Et post hanc míseram et cadúcam vitam deduc ánimam meam ad ætérnam felicitátem, ubi cum Deo et ómnibus sanctis gaúdeat sine fine. 9 Præstánte Dómino nostro Jesu Christo, cui est honor et glória in sæculórum sǽcula, amen. Dómine Jesu Christe, atténde michi mane surgéntem, et dírige actus meos et verba mea et cogitatiónes meas, ut totam per diem incédam voluntáte Tua. Dona michi, Dómine, timórem Tuum, contritiónem cordis, humilitátem mentis, et puram consciéntiam, ut mundum despíciam, in cælis meditábar, peccátum ódiam, et justítiam díligam. Rémove a corde meo discrímina mundi. Disjunge a me, Dómine, appeténtiam gulæ, desidérium fornicatiónis, cupiditátem, pestiléntiam iracúndiæ, tristítiam hujus mundi, accídiam, vanum gaúdium, et supérbiam mundi. Infíge in me, Dómine, virtútes: modéstiam abstinéntis córporis, castitátem, humilitátem, et fraternálem amórem non fíctum. Custódi os meum, Dómine, ne verbis loquar vanis, ne fábulas mundi dicam, ne álios abséntes detraham, ne maledícam paréntes, ne maledictiónem pro maledictióne próferam, sed magis
ut rather with blessing. Lord, let Thy praise be ever in my mouth. Christ, guard mine eyes that they may not look at what is evil, to lust after it, not the delicacies of this world nor the goods of my neighbour, but in the spirit of David let me say: ‘Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.’ And again, ‘Unto Thee have I lifted up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in heaven.’ Guard mine ears, lest they listen to slander and lies, or idle talk, but let them be opened every day to listen to the Word of God, Who hears and reigns unto ages of ages, amen. Let us walk in the good things of this day, In the power of the most high God, greatest God, In the good pleasure of Christ, In the light of the Holy Spirit, In the faith of the patriarchs, In the justice of the prophets, In the peace of the apostles, In the joy of the angels, In the splendours of Thy saints, In the toils of the monastics, In the power of the righteous, In the martyrdom of the martyrs, In the chastity of the virgins, In the wisdom of God, In much patience, In abstinence of body, In restraint of tongue, In abundance of peace, In praises of the Trinity, In sharp thinking, In deeds ever good, In the spiritual models, In divine words, In blessings, In these things lies the path of all who labour for Christ, for after their departure He leads His saints into everlasting joy. Thus, may I hear the voice of the angels praising God and saying, Holy, Holy, Holy! Lastly cross yourself, saying: 9 In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Placing your confidence not in yourself but in the Lord, read a little from the Holy Scriptures, or if the labours of the day are pressing, begin them in peace. benedictiónem. Laus Tua, Dómine, semper sit in ore meo. Custódi, Christe, óculos meos, ne vídeant pravum ad concupiscéndum illud, neque oblectatiónes hujus mundi neque bona vicíni, sed dicam in spíritu David: ‘Óculi mei ad Dóminum, quia Ipse éducet de rete pedes meos.’ Et idem: ‘Ad Te levávi óculos meos, qui hábitas in cælis.’ Custódi aures meos, ne aúdiant calúmniam et mendácia, aut vaniloquéntias, sed omni die aperiántur ad Verbum auscultándum Dei, qui audit et regnat in sǽcula sæculórum, amen. Ambulémus in prósperis hujus diéi lúminis, In virtúte altíssimi Dei, deórum máximi, In beneplácito Christi, In luce Spíritus Sancti, In fide patriarchárum, In méritis prophetárum, In pace apostolórum, In gaúdio angelórum, In splendóribus sanctórum, In opéribus monachórum, In virtúte justórum, In martýrio mártyrum, In castitáte vírginum, In Dei sapiéntia, In multa patiéntia, In carnis abstinéntia, In línguæ continéntia, In pacis abundántia, In Trinitátis laúdibus, In acútis sénsibus, In semper bonis áctibus, In formis spiritálibus, In divínis sermónibus, In benedictiónibus, In his est iter ómnium pro Christo laborántium, qui déducit sanctos, post óbitum, sempitérnum in gaúdium. Ut aúdiam vocem angelórum Deum laudántium ac dicéntium, Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus! Lastly cross yourself, saying: 9 In nómine Patris et Fílii et Spíritus Sancti, amen. Placing your confidence not in yourself but in the Lord, read a little from the Holy Scriptures, or if the labours of the day are pressing, begin them in peace.
