I stand before the doors of Your church, and I do not retreat from evil thoughts; but You, Christ God, justified the publican, and had mercy on the Canaanites, and opened the doors of paradise to the thief, open for me the womb of Your love for mankind and receive me coming and touching You, like a harlot and one who has a problem with blood, have touched the hem of Your robe and received healing, and have held Your most pure souls and received the remission of sins.
But I, the accursed one, dare to perceive Your entire Body, so that I will not be scorched; but accept me as they do, and enlighten my spiritual feelings, burning away my sinful guilt, with the prayers of the seedless One who gave birth to You, and the Heavenly powers; For blessed art thou unto the ages of ages. Amen.
