Lord, my God, I recognize that I am unworthy and not prepared for You to enter under the roof of the dwelling of my soul, because it is all empty and destroyed, and there is no worthy place in me where to lay my head to You. But just as You humbled Yourself for our sake, descending from the heights of heaven, so now descend to my insignificance. And just as You were pleased to lie down in a cave, in the manger of dumb animals, so You were pleased to enter into the manger of my reckless soul and into my defiled body. And just as You did not disdain to enter and take part in the evening with sinners in the house of Simon the leper, so deign to enter into the dwelling of my humble, leper and sinful soul.
And just as You did not reject a harlot and sinner like me, who came and touched You, so also have mercy on me, a sinner, who comes and touches You. And just as You did not abhor her foul and unclean lips that kissed You, so do not abhor even more than hers my foul and unclean lips, my vile and unclean lips and my foul and even more unclean tongue. But may the burning coal of Your most holy Body and Your precious Blood be for me for sanctification and enlightenment, for the health of my humble soul and body, for alleviating the burden of many of my sins, for protection from all devilish influences, for the elimination and curbing of my bad and harmful habits, for the mortification of passions, for success in Your Commandments, for the increase of the divine Your grace, for the acquisition of Your Kingdom. For I come to You, Christ God, not as impudent, but as one who trusts in Your unspeakable mercy and so that, far separated from You, I am not kidnapped by a spiritual wolf.
Therefore, I pray to You: as the only Saint, sanctify, O Lord, my soul and body, mind and heart, all internal organs, and renew me entirely, and root the fear of You in my members, and make Your sanctification indelible in me. Be my helper and intercessor, guiding my life peacefully like a helmsman, so that at the Judgment I may be worthy to stand at Your right hand with Your Saints, the prayers and intercession of Your All-Pure Mother, Your disembodied servants and the Most Pure Powers and all the saints who have pleased You from eternity. Amen.
