TO THE FATHER:
O Lord Almighty, God of hosts and of all flesh, dwelling in the highest, caring for the humble, searching the reins and the heart, and clearly discerning the hidden things of men - O unoriginate and ever-existing Light, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change, do Thou, O immortal King, accept our prayers which we offer to Thee at this present time from our soiled lips, trusting in the multitude of Thy bounties - forgive us our transgressions which we have committed knowingly or unknowingly, whether in word or deed or thought; cleanse us from all stain of body and soul. Grant us to pass through all the night of this present life with vigilant heart and sober thought, awaiting the coming of the radiant and manifest Day of Thy only-begotten Son, our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ, on which the judgment of all men shall come with glory, when to each man shall be given the reward of his deeds. May we not fall and become lazy, but instead have courage that, being roused to action, we may be found ready to enter into the joy and the divine bride-chamber of His glory, where the voice of those who feast is unceasing, and the gladness of those who behold the goodness of Thy countenance is unending. For Thou art the True light Who enlightenest and sanctifiest all things, and all creation sings Thy praise forever. Amen.
In IC.XC,
Ramon

Post your favorite prayer When I recite this prayer just before receiving communion, I choke up in tears. At times, when I was angry at God, I'd feel angels pushing me down by my shoulders to my knees in effect, quelling my rebellious nature because inside, I really wanted to kneel down, but my body was fighting me. These simple words put me in a state of mind of holiness. I immediately "go there" (to a place of complete surrender to God) now when I recite the; Agnus DeiCordero de Dios, Cordero de Dios,
Tú que quitas el pecado del mundo,
ten piedad de nosotros.
Cordero de Dios, Cordero de Dios,
Tú que quitas el pecado del mundo,
danos la paz.In English: LAMB OF GOD Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, grant us thy peace. |
