The Whispered P rayer of the Repenters

Video (Youtube)

My God, offenses have clothed me in the garment of

y lowliness, separation from Thee has wrapped me in

he clothing of my misery! My dreadful crimes have

eadened my heart, so bring it to life by a repentance

om Thee! O my hope and my aim! O my wish and my

ant! By Thy might, I find no one but Thee to forgive my

ns and I see none but Thee to mend my brokenness! I

ave subjected myself to Thee in repeated turning, I

ave humbled myself to Thee in abasement. If Thou

astest me out from Thy door, in whom shall I take

helter? If Thou repellest me from Thy side, in whom

hall I seek refuge? O my grief at my ignominy and

sgrace! O my sorrow at my evil works and what I have

ommitted!

I ask Thee, O Forgiver of great sins, O Mender of

roken bones, to overlook my ru inous misdeeds and

over my disgraceful secret thoughts! At the witnessing

ace of the Resurrection, empty me not of the coolness

f Thy pardon and forgiveness, and strip me not of Thy

eautiful forbearance and covering!

My God, let the cloud of Thy mercy cast its shadow

Verse 4 translation missing in original book!

My God, if remorse for sins is a repentance, I - by Thy

ight - am one of the remorseful! If praying forgiveness

or offenses is an alleviation, I am one of those who pray

orgiveness! To Thee I return that Thou may be well

eased!

My God, through Thy power over me, turn toward me,

hrough Thy clemency toward me, pardon me, and

hrough Thy knowledge of me, be gentle toward me!

My God, Thou art He who hast opened a door to Thy

ardon and named it 'repentance', for Thou said, Repent

o God with unswerving repentance. What is the excuse

f him who remains heedless of entering the door after

s opening?

My God, though the sins of Thy servant are ugly, Thy

ardon is beautiful.

My God, I am not the first to have disobeyed Thee,

nd Thou turned toward him, or to have sought to attain

hy favour, and Thou wert munificent toward him. O

esponder to the distressed! O Remover of injury! O

reat in goodness! O Knower of everything secret! O

eautiful through covering over! I seek Thy munificence

nd Thy generosity

o intercede with Thee, I seek Thy side and Thy showing

ercy to mediate with Thee,

My God, to Thee I complain of a soul commanding to

vil, rushing to offenses, eager to disobey Thee, and

xposing itself to Thy anger. It takes me on the roads of

sasters, it makes me the easiest of perishers before

hee; many its pretexts, drawn out its expectations;

hen evil touches it, it is anxious, when good touches it,

rudging; inclining to sport and diversion, full of

eedlessness and inattention, it hurries me to misdeeds

nd makes me delay repentance.

My God, I complain to Thee of an enemy who

isguides me and a satan who leads me astray. He has

lled my breast with tempting thoughts, and his

uggestions have encompassed my heart. He supports

aprice against me, embellishes for me the love of this

orld, and separates me from obedience and proximity!

My God, to Thee I complain of a heart that is hard,

urned this way and that by tempting thoughts, clothed

rust and the seal, and of an eye too indifferent to
