...my former [sins] for the sake of your holy name; and have mercy.* All-seeing One, I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed; blot out the handwriting of my transgressions, and write my name in the book of life; and have mercy.* Searcher of secrets, I have sinned against you willingly and unwillingly, knowingly and unknowingly; grant forgiveness to me, a sinner, for from the birth of the holy font until this day I have sinned before your Divinity through my senses and all the members of my body; and have mercy.* All-provident Lord, set your holy fear as a guard for my eyes, that they may no longer look upon defect; and for my ears, not to delight in hearing words of malice; and for my mouth, not to speak falsehood; and for my heart, not to meditate on evil; and for my hands, not to work injustice; and for my feet, not to walk in the paths of lawlessness; but direct their movements to be ever according to your commandments in all things; and have mercy.* Living Fire, Christ, kindle in my soul the fire of your love which you cast upon the earth, that it may burn away the filth of my spirit, and purify the conscience of my mind, and cleanse the sins of my body... --- * Liturgical refrain abbreviation: *ew ołorm[eay]* ("and have mercy").
