I believe, Lord, and I confess that You are truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, who came into the world to save sinners, from whom I am the first. I also believe that this is Your most pure Body, and this is Your most honorable Blood. I pray to You: have mercy on me and forgive me my sins, voluntary and involuntary, in word, in deed, in knowledge and ignorance, and grant me to receive communion without condemnation Your most pure Sacraments, for the remission of sins and eternal life. Amen. Thy secret supper this day, O Son of God, receive me as a partaker; I will not tell your enemies a secret, nor give you a kiss like Judas, but like a thief I will confess to you: remember me, O Lord, in your kingdom. May the communion of Your Holy Mysteries be not for judgment or condemnation for me, Lord, but for the healing of soul and body.
In Russian
I believe, Lord, and I testify in the hearing of all that You are truly the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first (greatest). I also believe that this is Your Most Pure Body, and this is Your Most Priceless Blood. So, I pray to You: have mercy on me and forgive me my sins, voluntary and involuntary, which I have committed in word and deed, consciously or unconsciously, and grant me, without condemnation, to be a partaker of Your Most Pure Mysteries for the remission of sins and for eternal life.
Accept me today, Son of God, as a participant in Your mystical supper, for I will not reveal the secret to Your enemies, and I will not give You such a kiss as Judas; but, like a thief, I call upon You: remember me, Lord, in Your Kingdom.
May the communion of Your Holy Mysteries be not for judgment or condemnation for me, Lord, but for the healing of soul and body.
I confess - I declare, I openly admit, I testify. Oops - so. Supper - dinner. The Last Supper is the supper at which Christ established the sacrament of communion. Participant - participant. I'll tell you - I'll open it. Kissing - kissing.
