It is not that what we do has some “merit,” that we purchase God’s favor by it. It is that this our cross is the means God may use to change us, to bring about the “change of mind” that is our salvation. ---- ----- Chant text: Glory to The Father and to The Son and to The Holy Spirit
Open to Me the gates of repentance O Giver of Life For my spirit goeth early, to the temple of Thy Holiness Coming in the temple of my body wholly polluted But because Thou art compassionate, purify thou me, by the compassion of Thy mercy
Both now and ever and unto ages of ages Amen
Guide me in the paths of salvation, O Theotokos For I have profaned myself with coarses, and consumed my whole life with procrastinations But by thine intercessions, purify thou me from all abominations.
