O Lord Jesus Christ, Only-Begotten Son of Thine Unoriginate Father, Thou hast said with Thy most pure lips: "For without Me, ye can do nothing." My Lord, O Lord, in faith having embraced Thy words, I fall down before Thy goodness; help me, a sinner, to complete through Thee Thyself this work which I am about to begin, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thou art the fullness of all good things, O my Christ; fill my soul with joy and gladness, and save me, for Thou alone art plenteous in mercy.
