Lord, God Almighty, look upon us, Your sinful and unworthy children, who have sinned before You, who have angered Your goodness, who have brought Your righteous wrath upon us who have fallen in depth of sin.
You see, Lord, weakness and spiritual sorrow, the corruption of our minds and hearts, the impoverishment of faith, the departure from Your commandments, the multiplication of family disorders, disunity and strife in the church, You see our sorrows and sorrows from illnesses, famines and civil strife that occur.
But, Most Merciful and Humane-loving Lord, give understanding, instruct and have mercy on us, the unworthy. Correct our sinful life, quench discord and discord, gather the scattered, unite the scattered, give peace to our country and deliver it from grave troubles and misfortunes.
All-holy Master, enlighten our minds with the light of the teachings of the Gospel, warm our hearts with the warmth of Your grace and direct me to the practice of Your commandments, so that He may be glorified in us Your all-holy and glorious name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
