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!
