Prayer for
the Conclusion of Every Hour
Have
mercy on us, O God, and have mercy on us. You
Who, at all times and at every hour in
heaven and on earth, are worshipped and glorified.
O Christ,
our God, Who are longsuffering, plenteous in mercy and most
compassionate, Who loves the righteous and
has mercy on sinners, of whom I am first. Who
does not wish the death of sinner but to repent and to live; Who calls all to salvation, through the promise
of good things to come.
Receive, O
Lord, our prayers at this hour and at every hour; prosper our ways and
guide our life toward Your commandments. Sanctify our souls. Make
chaste our bodies. Correct our thoughts. Purify our intentions. Heal
our sickness. Remit our sins, and deliver
us from every affliction, evil and pain. Compass
us about with Your holy angels; that,
guided and guarded by their array, we may attain to the unity of faith
and the knowledge of Your unapproachable and infinite glory; for
blessed are You unto the ages of ages.
Amen.
