A Heart That is Broken and Humbled God Will Not Despise | Cracked Heart with Orthodox Cross | Repentance | Christian Spiral NotebookHave mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Turn Thy face away from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation,

and become incorruptible through the resurrection

Like the Theotokos

- Psalm 148 (read during Matins at the Praises/Lauds)

in divers places

[a]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it

Paradise opened

Through a confession of the Oneness

which is the only place where it may find true peace and solace

and invoked the aid of God in order to his success therein

why weepest thou

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven

In the morning shall I stand before Thee
