Everyone is called to repentance without delay, for death can come unexpectedly to the virtuous and the sinful alike. Without a change of heart today, we will not be prepared to face the Judgment Day. Come then, let us repent unceasingly until we depart from this life, rightfully chanting praises to Christ our God:
Save us, for all have sinned in thought, word and deed.
Save us, for we are saturated with worldly pleasures.
Save us, for we succumb to conformity with the world.
Save us, for the world welcomes our downfall.
Save us, for we are faithless in prayer and worship.
Save us, for we look down at the troubled sea.
Save us, for we repent and then turn back to our old ways.
Save us, for we ascend the ladder and then fall into the abyss.
Save us, for we are unstable in our emotions.
Save us, for we are enslaved to past turmoil.
Save us, for we covet glory for ourselves.
Save us, for we water the weeds of pride and vanity.
Save us, for we serve Satan in many subtle ways.
Save us, for we are not vigilant day and night.
Christ our Savior, save us.
