☦ Orthodox Church-Evening Prayers
Evening Prayers~Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us; for laying aside all excuse, we sinners offer to Thee, as to our Master, this supplication: Have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
O Lord, have mercy on us, for in Thee have we put our trust. Do not be angry with us, nor remember our iniquities, but look down on us even now, since Thou art compassionate, and deliver us from our enemies. For Thou art our God, and we are Thy people; we are all the work of Thy hands, and we call on Thy name.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
O blessed Theotokos, open the doors of compassion to us whose hope is in you,
that we may not perish but be delivered from adversity through you, who are the salvation of the Christian people.
Evening Troparia~
The day is over; I thank You, O Lord! Grant me to pass this evening and this night without sin and save me, O Saviour!
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
The day is over; I glorify You, O Master! Grant me to pass this evening and this night without offence and save me, O Saviour!
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
The day is over; I sing to You, O Holy One! Grant me to pass this evening and this night without temptation and save me, O Saviour!
O Lord our God, forgive all my sins committed this day in thought, word or deed for You are good and the Lover of mankind.
Grant me peaceful and undisturbed sleep.
Send me Your guardian angel to protect and keep me from all evil.
For You are the Guardian of our souls and bodies and to You we send up glory: to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer To My Guardian Angel~
O angel of Christ, my holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me everything in which I have offended you this day, and deliver me from all the evil wiles of the enemy, that I may not anger my God by any sin.
Pray for me, a sinful and unworthy servant, that I may be counted worthy of the kindness and mercy of the All-holy Trinity, of the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ and of all the saints. Amen.
