Saints and Martyrs

February 5 – St. Agatha (Św. Agata)

Chryste Jezu, Ty znasz tajniki serca mego, przed Tobą nie jest ukryta żadna myśl moja, ani pragnienie. Ty bądź Panem jedynym serca mojego, Ty niem rządź i kieruj według Twojej woli. Chcę należeć do Ciebie, i do Ciebie tylko wyłącznie. Tyś moim pasterzem, a ja Twoją słabą owieczką Wzmacniaj ma słabość i wspomagaj przeciw wszelkim pokusom. Amen.

Everything Else

A Prayer of Glory to Christ

St. Ephrem of Syria - Deacon

Glory to Thee, Lord

What shall I give Thee, Lord, in return for all Thy kindness?
Glory to Thee for Thy love.
Glory to Thee for Thy mercy.
Glory to Thee for Thy patience.
Glory to Thee for forgiving us all our sins.
Glory to Thee for coming to save our souls.
Glory to Thee for Thine incarnation in the Virgin’s womb.
Glory to Thee for Thy bonds.
Glory to Thee for receiving the cut of the lash.
Glory to Thee for accepting mockery.
Glory to Thee for Thy crucifixion.
Glory to Thee for Thy burial.
Glory to Thee for Thy resurrection.
Glory to Thee who were preached to men and women.
Glory to Thee in whom they believed.
Glory to Thee who were taken up into Heaven.
Glory to Thee who sit in great glory at the Father’s right hand.
Glory to Thee whose will it is that the sinner should be saved
through Thy great mercy and compassion.

–St Ephraim of Edessa the Syrian, Deacon, Monk, and Hymnographer of the Church

A special thank you to Monachos.
