Prayer Corner
“…
prayer rises like a mystic river in the high mountain peaks of the
great holy books, makes its way downward, fed into by scores of
silent streams and hidden springs. winding its way among the foothills
of tradition and time, it flows onward til it cascades down the
cliffs of change into the rich and fertile valley of today…”
Edward Hayes, Prayers
For the Domestic Church, 1985

Prayer
of Saint Basil the Great
O God and Lord of the Powers, and Maker of
all creation, Who, because of Thy
clemency
and incomparable mercy, didst send Thine Only-Begotten Son and our
Lord Jesus Christ for the
salvation of mankind, and with His venerable Cross
didst
tear asunder the record of our sins, and thereby didst conquer the
rulers and powers of darkness;
receive from us sinful people, O merciful
Master,
these prayers of gratitude and supplication, and deliver us from
every destructive and gloomy
transgression, and from all visible and
invisible
enemies who seek to injure us. Nail down our flesh with fear of
Thee, and let not our hearts be
inclined to words or thoughts of evil, but
pierce
our souls with Thy love, that ever contemplating Thee, being
enlightened by Thee, and
discerning Thee, the unapproachable and everlasting
Light,
we may unceasingly render confession and gratitude to Thee: The
eternal Father, with Thine
Only-Begotten Son, and with Thine All-Holy, Gracious,
and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
