Guard me under your protection.

(Prayer before the Venerable Cross) Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish just as wax melts before fire. So the demons will perish from the presence of those who love God and who sign themselves with the sign of the Cross, saying in gladness: “Hail Most precious and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, for you drive away demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified on you.

Upon those who have asked us, unworthy though we be, to pray for them, have mercy. Lord, remember our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep and grant them rest where the light of Your Countenance shines. Remember, Lord, those who bear fruit and do good works in Your holy churches and grant them their petitions which are for salvation and eternal life. Remember us also, Lord, your humble, sinful and unworthy servants, and enlighten our minds with the light of Your knowledge, and guide us in the way of Your commandments. Through the prayers of our most Pure Lady, the Birth-Giver of God and Ever-Virgin Mary and all Your Saints, for You are blessed to the ages of ages. Amen.

(Song to the All-Holy Birth-Giver of God) It is right, in truth, to glorify you, the Birth-Giver of God, the Ever-Blessed, wholly immaculate, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, you, who without defilement gave birth to God the Word, true Birth-Giver of God, we magnify you! Beneath your tender mercy we flee, Birth-Giver of God; reject not our prayers in the time of trouble, but deliver us from harm, you, o Only Pure and Blessed Lady. Most Glorious Ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ our God, receive our prayer and present it to your Son and our God, so that He may save our souls for your sake.
