Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
Holy Angel of Christ, falling down to you, I pray, my holy guardian, given to me for the preservation of my sinful soul and body from holy baptism! I, with my laziness and my evil custom, 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, talking a lot, evil thoughts and crafty ones, proud customs and lustful indignation, self-desire for all carnal lust. Oh, my evil will, which even dumb animals cannot do! But how can you look at me or approach me, like a stinking dog? Whose eyes, Angel of Christ, look upon me, entangled in evil in vile deeds? How can I ask for forgiveness for my bitter, evil, and crafty deeds, for I fall into misery all day and night and at every hour?
But I pray to you, falling down, my holy guardian, have mercy on me, your sinful and unworthy servant (name of the rivers), be my helper and intercessor against the evil of my opponent with your holy prayers and make me a partaker of the Kingdom of God with all the saints, always and now, and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
On Friday evening, an akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos is read.
Also: It is worthy to eat... (Bow to the ground.) If it is a post-feast, we sing worthy of the holiday. Glory even now: Lord, have mercy. (Three times.) And dismissal: Through the prayers of the saints, our fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen. Lord, have mercy. (Thrice.)
Establishment of those who hope in Thee, establish, O Lord, the Church which Thou hast acquired with Thy venerable blood.
Mistress, accept the prayers of Your servant and deliver us from all need and sorrow. When there is a holiday, we sing troparion, kontakion and magnification.
Come, let's worship...
