We prayed this at the end of our weekly OCF service. It was so beautiful, I had to share.
—
O All-wise and All-gracious Lord, Our Savior, Who enlightened the ends of the world by the radiance of Your Coming, and Who did call us into Your Holy Church through the promise of the inheritance of incoorruptible and eternal good! Graciously look down on us and remember not out iniquities, but according to Your infinite mercies forgive all our sins. For though we transgress Your holy will, we do not deny you, our God and Savior. Against You alone do we sin, yet You alone do we serve, in You alone do we believe, to You alone do we come, and Your servants only do we wish to be.
Remember the infirmity of our nature and the temptations of the adversary and the worldly enticements and seductions which surround us on all sides, and against which, according to Your word, we can do nothing without Your help. Cleanse us and save us! Enlighten our minds that we may firmly believe in You, our only Savior and Redeemer! Inspire our hearts that we may firmly believe in You, our only God and Creator!
Direct our steps that we may walk in the light of your commandments without stumbling! Yea, our Lord and Creator, show us Your great and abundant kindness, and make us live all the days of our lives in holiness and truth, that at the time of your glorious Second Coming, we may be worthy to hear Thy gracious call into Your glorious heavenly Kingdom. Grant us, Your sinful and unprofitable servants, to receive Your kingdom, and that in the enjoyment of its ineffable beauty, we may glorify You, together with Your Eternal Father and Your Ever-living Divine Spirit to the ages of ages. Amen.
Sweetest Lord Jesus, strong Son of God, Who did shed Your precious Blood and die for love of my love, i am ready to die for love of Your love. You only do I wish for my Spouse, as You wish me for Your bride. I give myself to You. I surrender myself to you, o Jesus, You Whose heart is ever turned to me, heal my heart, that I may feel the sweetness of Your love, that I may taste no sweetness but You, seek no love but You, love no beauty but You. I have no desire but to please You and to do Your will. Teach me to repent, and to take up the Cross daily and follow You with joy. Teach me to pray with faith and love. Yourself pray in me, that with You I may love my enemies and pray for them.
Jesus, You are life in my death, strength in my weakness, light in my darkness, joy in my sorrow, courage in my faintheartedness, peace in my agitation, obedience in my prayer, glory in my dishonor, and deliverance from my dishonor. Glory and thanks to you Jesus my Savior and Healer. Amen.
