Rising from sleep, I offer the midnight hymn to Thee, Savior, and falling down crying out to Thee: do not let me fall asleep in a sinful death, but have compassion on me, crucified by will, and raise me up as I lie in laziness, and save me in standing and in prayer, and after my nightly sleep, rise up for me a sinless day, O Christ God, and save me.
Don't give me - don't give me. Have mercy on me - literally: have mercy on me. Crucified by will - voluntarily crucified.
+ Let us cite another saying of the Venerable Macarius the Great: “Penetrate into the mental essence of the soul, and delve not lightly. The immortal soul is a precious vessel. Look how great heaven and earth are, and God did not bless about them, but only about you. Look at your nobility and dignity, because he did not send Angels, but the Lord Himself came as an intercessor for you, to call upon the lost, revealed, to return to you the original image of pure Adam. God Himself came to intercede for you and deliver you from death. Stand firm and imagine what kind of industry is for you.”
