Thou Art Our God Everlasting

We pray to Thee accept our fasts and our adorations, our offices and petitions and be merciful to us, forgive us all our faults and the evil which we have done against Thee, willingly and unwillingly, knowingly and unknowingly.

Help us to live all the days of our lives, with thoughts, words and deeds, pleasing to Thee.

O God, save us from the temptations of the evil one; from the jealousy of the demons; from the afflictions of evil spirits; from the bitterness of evil men; from all kinds of sickness that afflict us; from bitter occurrences; from all poverty that hinders our daily bread; and from all enemies, both open and hidden.

Forgive all our shortcomings and transgressions, and those of our departed ones. Forsake us not to inherit hell, prepared for the heathens and the rebellious. Make us all worthy to rejoice in heaven with Thy friends, the just and the righteous.

O Saint Mary, Mother of God, and all Saints and holy angels, we seek refuge in thee and pray to thee with hope. Intercede with the Lord God, for our salvation.

Amen.
