I greet you, hope of Christians. Receive the plea of a sinner who loves you tenderly, who honors you with special worship, and who deposits in you the hope of his salvation. For you I have life. Thou restores me in the grace of Thy Son; thou art the sure pledge of my salvation. Wherefore I beseech Thee to deliver me from the weight of my sins, destroy the darknesses of my mind, pluck from my heart the earthly affections, rebuke the temptations of my enemies, and orders my whole life; that I may attain through thee, and be guided by thee, the everlasting happiness of Paradise. Amen.
St. John Damascus
