Grant me your mercy.
My Redeemer, redeem me,
for I am yours;
I have come from you.
You are my mind:
bring me forth.
You are my treasury:
open for me.
You are my fullness:3
accept me.
You are my rest:4
give me incomprehensible perfection.
I call upon you,
you who exist and preexisted,
in the name exalted above every name,5
through Jesus Christ,
Lord of lords,
King of the eternal realms.6
Give me your gifts, with no regret,
through the Son of Humanity,7”
“the Spirit,
the Advocate8 of truth.
Give me authority, I ask of you,
give healing9 for my body, since I ask you
through the preacher of the gospel,10
and redeem my eternal enlightened soul and my spirit,
and disclose to my mind the firstborn of the fullness of grace.
Grant what eyes of angels have not seen,
what ears of rulers have not heard,
and what has not arisen in the human heart,11
which became angelic,
made in the image of the animate God12
when it was formed in the beginning.
I have faith and hope.
And bestow upon me
your beloved, chosen, blessed majesty,
the firstborn, the first-begotten,
the wonderful mystery of your house.
For yours is power and glory
and praise and greatness,
forever and ever.”
“Amen.
Prayer of the Apostle Paul
In peace.
Holy is Christ.”
