Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Why shouldn’t I cry when I think about death, when I see my brother lying in the grave, inglorious and ugly? What am I hoping for, and what am I hoping for? Just grant me, Lord, before the end, repentance. (Twice).
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
I believe that you will come to judge the living and the dead, and all will stand in their rank, old and young, rulers and princes, virgins and priestesses; where will I find myself? For this reason I cry: grant me, Lord, before the end, repentance.

Song 9
Irmos: It is impossible for man to see God; the officials of Angels do not dare to look at Worthiness; By You, O All-Pure One, the Word Incarnate, Who magnifies Him as a man, we please You with the heavenly howls.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Now I come running to you, Angels, Archangels and all the heavenly powers standing at the Throne of God, pray to Your Creator that He may deliver my soul from eternal torment.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.

Mother of God, help him who trusts most strongly in You, beg Your Son to place me, unworthy, at His right hand, when the judge of the living and the dead sits. Amen.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
You will not turn away my tears, Even though you have taken away every tear from every face, O Virgin who gave birth to Christ.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Fill my heart with joy, O Virgin, who accepts fulfillment and consumes sinful sadness.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Be a refuge and representation for those who come running to You, O Virgin, and an unbreakable wall, refuge and cover and joy.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Illuminate the dawnings of Your light, O Virgin, driving away the darkness of ignorance, faithfully confessing Theotokos to You.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
In the place of the bitterness of the infirmity of the humbled one, O Virgin, heal, transforming from ill health to health.

Prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ
Master Christ God, who healed my passions with His passions and healed my ulcers with His wounds, grant me, who have sinned much against You, tears of compunction; dissolve my body from the smell of Your Life-Giving Body, and delight my soul with Your Honest Blood from sorrow, from which the enemy gave me a drink; lift up my mind to You, which has fallen to the ground, and lift me up from the abyss of destruction: for there is no repentance, no compunction, no comforting tears that lead a child to his own. heritage. My mind has been darkened by worldly passions, I cannot look to You in illness, I cannot warm myself with tears, even with love for You. But, Lord Jesus Christ, treasury of good things, grant me complete repentance and a laborious heart to seek Yours, grant me Your grace and renew in me the eyes of Your image.
Leave you, don’t leave me; come to seek me, lead me to Your pasture and number me among the sheep of Your chosen flock, raise me with them from the grain of Your Divine Sacraments, through the prayers of the Most Pure One Your Mother and all Your saints. Amen.

Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Guardian Angel
Holy Angel of Christ, falling to you I pray, my holy guardian, given to me for the preservation of my soul and body, a sinner from holy baptism, and through my laziness and my own By evil custom, I angered your most pure lordship and drove you away from me with all the evil deeds: lies, slander, envy, condemnation, contempt, disobedience, brotherly hatred, and resentment, love of money, adultery, rage, stinginess, gluttony without satiety and drunkenness, excessive talking, evil thoughts and craftiness, proud custom and lustful rage, self-lust for all carnal lust. Oh, my evil will, even the beasts do not do it without words! How can you look at me, or approach me like a stinking dog? Whose eyes, O angel of Christ, look upon me, entangled in evil in vile affairs? How can I ask for forgiveness for my bitter and evil and evil deeds, in which I fall all day and night and at every hour?
But I pray to you, my holy guardian, to have mercy on the flesh of your sinful and unworthy servant (name), be my helper and intercessor against the evil of my opponent, through your holy prayers, and make me a partaker of the Kingdom of God with all the saints, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
