[{"type":"HEADER","value":"Prayer of St. Basil the Great"},{"type":"TEXT","value":"O God, Lord of powers, and Creator of all creatures, for the indescribable compassion of\nThy mercies Thou didst send Thine only Son Jesus Christ for the salvation of our race; and by His\nCross Thou didst tear up the decree of our sins; and through Him didst shame the principals and\nkings of darkness. Thou, Master, Lover of mankind, accept from us sinners these petitions and\npleadings of thanksgiving, and deliver us from every dark and annihilating fall, from all those who\nseek to do us wrong, and from enemies visible and invisible. Nail the fear of Thee in our bodies,\nand turn not our hearts to evil speech or thoughts. Nay, by Thy longing, wound our souls that,\nbeholding Thee always, and being guided by the light coming from Thee, and observing Thee, O\nunapproachable eternal Light, we may address to Thee ceaselessly our thanksgiving and\nconfession; O Father without beginning, with Thine only Son, and Thy most Holy Spirit, the Giver\nof life, now and ever, and unto ages of ages."}] |
