The Conclusion Of Every Hour
Hail Mary
We ask you O the Saint full of glory
the ever Virgin Theotokos (the birthgiver of God)
the mother of Christ
We ask you to raise our prayers
to your beloved son
that He may forgive us our sins
Have mercy upon us O God
and again have mercy upon us
who, at all times and in every hour
in heaven and on earth
is worshipped and glorified
Christ our good Lord
the long suffering, exceedingly merciful
and extremely compassionate
who loves the righteous and is merciful to
the sinners of whom I am chief
who does not wish the death of a sinner
but rather that he should turn from his
wickedness and live
who calls all to salvation
with the promise of blessings to come
Lord, accept our prayers in this hour
and in every hour
Establish our way
and guide us to carry out your commandments
Sanctify our souls
Cleanse our bodies
Straighten our thoughts
Purify our intentions
Heal our sicknesses
Forgive our sins
Deliver us from every destructive grief,
distress and heartache
Surround us by your holy angels,
That guided and guarded within their camp,
we may attain the unity of faith
and the knowledge of your infinite
and invisible glory
For your are the blessed God
now and forever and from all ages to all ages.
AMEN
