Penitential Stanzas (Tone 5)

Gerald Largent

Lord, I do not cease my sin; I do not comprehend Your love for mankind, Only Good One! But overcome my blindness, and have mercy on me!

Lord, even though I fear You, I do not cease to do evil. Who at judgment does not fear the Judge? Or who, desiring healing, chases away the Physician as I do? Have compassion on my infirmity, and have mercy on me, O Patient Lord!

Woe is me! Why have I become like the barren fig tree? I fear cursing and cutting down! But, Heavenly Gardener, Christ my God, reveal my parched soul to be fruitful. Accept me as You did the prodigal son and have mercy on me!

Disregard the great number of my transgressions, Lord born of the Virgin. Blot out all my iniquities; grant me, I pray, a firm intention to change, for You are the Lover of Mankind, and have mercy on me!

Penitential Stanzas (Tone 4)

Gerald Largent

Lord, I long to wash away with tears the record of all my sins, and to spend the remaining days of my life pleasing You through repentance, but the devil continually deceives me! He wages war against my soul! Save me, before I utterly perish, O Lord!

Who, when bestormed, if he runs to this Haven is not saved? Or who that is sick, if he runs to this Healing, is not made whole? Lord, the Maker of all and Physician of the sick, save me, before I utterly perish, O Lord!

I flee for refuge to You, the Good Shepherd; I am a sheep of Your rational flock! O God, I have gone astray; seek me, and have mercy on me!

Savior, wash me in my tears, for I am defiled by many sins. Therefore I fall before You: I have sinned; have mercy on me, O God!

Words from the Saints -- April 11, 2024

Gerald Largent

"Prayer is a request for what is good, offered by the devout of God. But we do not restrict this request simply to what is stated in words… We should not express our prayer merely in syllables, but the power of prayer should be expressed in the moral attitude of our soul and in the virtuous actions that extend throughout our life… This is how you pray continually — not by offering prayer in words, but by joining yourself to God through your whole way of life, so that your life becomes one continuous and uninterrupted prayer." --St. Basil the Great

"Many of us feel remorse for our sins, yet we gladly accept their causes." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"Seek nothing other than to fear Him, to love Him, and to walk in all His ways. This is your boast, and this is your God." --St. Gregory Palamas
