445. What if You, Lord my God, Jesus Christ, would shine the light of Your Divinity from Your Most Pure Mysteries when they rest on the Holy. the throne - on the paten during the Liturgy, or in the tabernacle, or monstrance, when Your priest carries them on his chest, going to or from the sick! from this light, everyone who met them or looked at them from their homes would have fallen to the ground in fear, for the Angels are also covered from the fear of Your unapproachable glory!
447. Please God in everything and at all times and think about saving your soul from sins and the devil and assimilating it to God. Get out of bed, cross yourself and say: “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” and also: Lord, grant us this day to be preserved without sin and teach me to do Your will (from the Great Doxology); When you wash at home or in a bathhouse, say: Sprinkle me with hyssop, O Lord, and when you have washed me I will be clean, and I will be whiter than snow (Ps. 50:9); when you put on underwear, think about the purity of your heart and ask the Lord for a pure heart: create in me a clean heart, O God (Ps. 50:12); sew a new one and put it on, think about the renewal of the spirit and say: the spirit is right, Lord, renew it in my womb (ibid.); ... whenever you go anywhere, think about the rightness of your spiritual walk before the face of God and say: direct my steps according to Your word, and let not all iniquity possess me (Ps. 119:133) ...
448. Lord! What will I bring to You, how will I thank You for Your constant greatest mercies to me and to the rest of Your people? For every moment I am enlivened by Your Holy Spirit, every moment I breathe the air You have diffused, light, pleasant, healthy, strengthening, I am enlightened by Your joyful and life-giving light - spiritual and material; I feed on sweet and life-giving spiritual food and the same drink, the Holy Mysteries of Thy Body and Blood and material food and drink of sweetness; You clothe me with a bright, beautiful royal robe - with Yourself, according to the Scripture: if you were baptized into Christ, you put on Christ (Gal.
3:27) and material clothes - you cleanse my sins, heal and cleanse my many and fierce sinful passions; You take away my spiritual corruption in the power of Your immeasurable goodness, wisdom and strength, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit - the Spirit of holiness, grace; give my soul truth, peace and joy, space, strength, boldness, courage, strength, and endow my body with precious health, teach my hand to fight and my fingers to fight (Ps. 143:1) with the invisible enemies of my salvation and bliss, with the enemies of the holiness and power of Your glory, with the spirits of wickedness in the heavens; You crown with success my deeds done in Your name... - For all this I thank, glorify and bless Your all-good, fatherly, all-powerful power, O God the Savior, our Benefactor. But be known by Your other people as You appeared to me, O Lover of Mankind, so that they may know You, the Father of all, Your goodness, Your providence, Your wisdom and power, and glorify You with the Father and the Holy Spirit now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
455. ...Glory to him who gives me strength! Glory to him who works by me and in me!
476. ...Oh, you, who by your glorious birth united God as a man and united the denied nature of our heavenly race (from the prayer of the Most Holy Bogor. for eternity), glory to you, worthy of glorification from all intelligent creation, for you found such purity and grace from God that you were able, by the grace of God the Father, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, to incarnate the Son God's! But, O Lady, vouchsafe us also to achieve purity of spirit and body through communion of the Divine Mysteries of the Body and Blood of Your Son!
478. ... Grant, then, Lord, to completely avoid sin, and to become accustomed to every virtue, by Thy grace. To her, Master, Lord, without You we cannot do any good, nothing evil (Matthew 12:34).
495. Holy Soul, we are all Christians - Your breath. Your birth after baptism, and after the first creative breath in the person of the first man, we all, all the tribes of the earth - Your breath, Your birth! Have mercy and create us all. Holy soul! With Your breath, drive away the stench of our sins and passions, eradicate the stench of all sinful inclinations!
500. ...Oh, all-wise and all-powerful Artist! life-giving Artist! How wonderful, comfortable, and lively everything is with you! With You even the dust is revived, with You even the dust moves!
507. ...Oh! Glory, glory to Your victory, Lord! Thus may I conquer in the power of Your fortress enemies invisible and visible, all the days of my life, until my last breath. Amen. O simplicity of faith! don't leave me.
520. ...When praying, say: Lord! It is possible for You to do this and that to Your servant; do this to him, for Your name is the good Lover of Mankind and the Almighty. If we, being evil, know how to give good deeds not only to our children, but also to strangers, how much more do You give all kinds of good things to those who ask You (Matthew 7:11).
522. ...everything is possible for You, Master, but nothing is impossible for You. Amen.
523. Oh, You, Almighty Master, Whose mania alone everything obeys, the whole world, visible and invisible, grant me to glorify You unceasingly with the simplicity of my faith in Your infinite power. Grant me unashamed faith, firm hope, unfeigned love for You and for my neighbor!
530. Lord, You Yourself have spoken with Your most pure lips: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48). I want to be perfect. Be thou therefore all perfection unto me, for thou art the saying: without Me ye can do nothing (John 15:5).
533. ...Heavenly Father! You, the leader of what we demand, and the giver of our petitions (cf. Matt. 6:8), have mercy on us, unfaithful, ungrateful and evil-willed! We hear Your merciful word, Master: I will not leave the imam from you, I will not leave the imam to you (Heb. 13:5), but, being seduced daily by earthly blessings, we disobey it and violate Your will.
538. ...If one royal word is the cause of great deeds in his kingdom: he will say, and the deed will begin and be accomplished; will not the word of the King of every creature, material and spiritual, visible and invisible, the Almighty and Wise King, accomplish everything that He pleases? He speaks, and will he not do it? He speaks, and will he not abide? O almighty Power, capable of accomplishing everything in one instant, do not forsake us for our sins, especially for our lack of faith and despair, to torment us with our own weaknesses, so that we may not be crushed like meager vessels. Grant us to believe with all our hearts in Your almighty power! Let us not doubt the fulfillment of every good request of ours.
545. ...Speak in your heart with all your heart: the Lord is everything to me, I am nothing, I am powerlessness, weakness. Without Me you can do nothing (John 15:5),
551. ...O meek and humble-hearted Creator, Life-Giver, Redeemer, Nourisher and Guardian of ours, Lord Jesus! Teach us love, meekness and humility by Your Holy Spirit and strengthen us in these virtues most dear to You, so that Your rich gifts do not puff up our hearts, so that we do not imagine that we feed, satisfy and support anyone; You, the Common Breadwinner of all, nourish, satisfy and preserve; everyone is content and at peace under the wings of Your goodness, generosity and love for mankind, and not under ours, for we ourselves need to take refuge in the shadow of Your wings every moment of our lives. Our eyes are fixed on You, our God, like the eyes of a servant in the hand of the Lord, like the eyes of a slave in the hand of her mistress, until You have graciously given us (Ps. 122:2, 3). Amen.
577. ...Lord! I said: Heal Your servant from his illness. He is worthy, this is to him, he loves Your priests and sends his gifts to them. – I also prayed in church at the throne of the Lord during the liturgy, during prayer: “who has given us prayers that are common and concordant…” and before the Mysteries themselves. By the way, I prayed like this: Lord! Our belly! Just as it is easy for me to think about healing, so it is easy for you to heal every disease; Just as it is easy for me to think about the resurrection from the dead, so it is easy for You to raise every dead person. Heal Thy servant Vasily from his cruel illness and do not allow him to die, so that his wife and children do not give in to weeping - and the benevolent Master has mercy. And then he was on the verge of death. Glory to Thy omnipotence, goodness and good obedience, Lord!
