Prayer of St. John of Damascus

Rejoice, O Mary! You are the hope of Christians in the Lord; receive the petitions of a sinner who worships the Creator, glorifies Him, and loves You sincerely, especially honoring God—through You—placing all his trust and hope for salvation in You. From the Lord, through You, I have life. You have returned to me the grace of Your Son; You are a certain pledge of my salvation in the Lord. I beseech You: may He, by His mercy and grace, deliver me from the burden of my sins; disperse the darkness of my thoughts, cast out earthly passions from my heart, restrain the temptations that my enemies lay upon me, and so guide my life, that with His divine assistance and Your heavenly help, and under Your intercession before the Lord, I may attain eternal happiness in heaven.
