Thursday's Prayer

O Master and God, Father almighty, Lord, and only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit, one divinity and power, have mercy on me a sinner, and save me, your unworthy servant, in any way you know; for you are blessed unto the ages of ages. Amen.
- by St. Mardarios

[Early Christian prayer tended towards the penitent petition.  As such, the prayers tend to be a little off-putting to 21st century Western Christians.]
