… [Helper of those] who turn to you,

Light of all in the dark,

Creator of all that grows from seed,

Harvester of all spiritual growth,

have mercy on me, Lord,

and equip my temple to be fit for you.

Do not observe my transgressions,

for if you observe my ungodliness,

I will not be able to stand before you.

But according to your great mercy

and according to the magnitude of your compassions,

blot out my transgressions through your only most-holy child Jesus Christ,

our Lord and Chief Healer of our souls.

May your glory, power, all majesty, (and) magnificence be upon him

throughout all the un-aging, un-ending ages of the ages, amen.

Another (prayer)

Holy God, the one directing me from the new life and light,

Holy God and Father of all,

You are holy, who has existed from the beginning,

Holy God who is known from his own works …

You are Holy God who all you receive and know,

You are Holy God, who created everything by your Word,

You are holy who nature has not dimmed,

You are holy, not all nature (is) worthy of praise.

You are holy, stronger than any sovereign,

You are holy, greater beyond all.

You are holy, the judge of praise.

Accept my voice from my soul and heart that stretches out toward you,

Ineffable, inexpressible, spoken in silence.

Let me not, I ask, be made to stumble upon the knowledge of our essential nature.

Reach down to me and give me power, and this grace I will shine in goodwill to family; my brothers, but your sons.

For my spirit is the spirit of God.

Therefore I believe and I testify

Whom life and light I give way.

You are blessed, Father,

Your person wishes to be holy with you, just as you gave all authority to him.

May glory be to you, now and always

and into the all ages of the ages. Amen. >>>>>

Prayer of the Apostle Peter and of the others.

You are holy, Lord, Omnipotent God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the garden of Eden,

the staff of the king,

the costly love,

the steadfast hope,

the … faith,

the inscrutable will …
