[{"type":"HEADER","value":"Prayer of St. Basil the Great"},{"type":"TEXT","value":"O Master, Lord Jesus Christ our God, Who art patient with our sins, and Who hast brought\nus even to the present hour, in which, as Thou didst hang upon the life-giving Tree Thou didst\nmake a way into paradise for the penitent thief, and by Death didst destroy death, cleanse us\nsinners, Thine unworthy servants; for we have sinned and have dealt iniquitously, and we are not\nworthy to lift up our eyes and look upon the heights of heaven, inasmuch as we have departed from\nthe path of Thy righteousness, and have walked after the desires of our own hearts. But we implore\nThy boundless goodness. Spare us, O Lord, according to the multitude of Thy mercies, and save\nus, for Thy holy Name’s sake; for our days have passed away in vanity. Wrest us from the hand of\nthe adversary, and forgive us our sins, and mortify in us carnal imagination; that, putting off the\nold man, we may be clothed upon with the new man, and may live unto Thee, our Master and\nBenefactor; that, following after Thy commandments, we may attain unto rest eternal, where is the\nabode of all those who rejoice; for Thou art in verity the true Joy and Exultation of those who love\nThee, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with the Father, Who is without\nbeginning, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages."}] |
