Lord, the only pure and immortal One, through Your ineffable compassion and love for mankind, who took upon Yourself all our complex nature from the pure virgin blood of the One who supernaturally gave birth to You by the influx of the Holy Spirit, by the good pleasure of the eternal Father, Jesus Christ, the Wisdom of God, peace and power! You, who through Your assumed flesh accepted life-giving and saving sufferings: the cross, nails, death - kill my soul-destroying bodily passions. You, who by Your burial have devastated the kingdom of hell, bury my bad intentions with good thoughts and scatter the spirits of evil. You, by Your life-giving power on the third day, raised the fallen forefather from the grave by rebellion, raise me too, who fell into sin, giving me the means of repentance. Thou, by Thy glorious ascension, who deified the received flesh and made it worthy to sit at the right hand of the Father, grant me also, through the communion of Thy holy Mysteries, to reach the right side of those being saved. You, who by the descent of the Comforter of the Spirit made Your holy disciples precious vessels, show me also to be the receptacle of His coming.

You, who intend to come again to righteously judge the universe, deign to meet me, with all Your saints, You, my Judge and Creator, coming on the clouds, so that I endlessly glorify and glorify You, with Your beginningless Father and Your All-Holy, Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
