Prayer
Request that God Act Quickly
May your suffering for our salvation not be in vain for me, God, who
became man for my sake. May the sweat mixed with blood on the night of your
betrayal not be without purpose for me. May the gifts of your light not be
eclipsed, gifts that you have given freely and without compensation to a wretch
like me. May the good news of your grace renewed by the blood drops from your
side not be erased in me. May the fruit of your suffering, offered for my
neediness, not be senseless for me. May the banished Deceiver not dare to
possess me, one whom you have made.
[St.
Narékatzi Prayer 78]
