Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your name.

Encompass us with your holy angels so that guided and guarded by their power we may reach the unity of the faith and come to the knowledge of Your unapproachable glory for You are blessed forever. Amen.
Let us pray for peace in the world. (“Lord have mercy” after each petition)
For all faithful and Orthodox believers.
For our Father and Archbishop Methodios and all our brothers and sisters in Christ
For our country, our president and those in public service.
For our parents, our spouses, our brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and all people.
For those who hate us and those who love us.
For those who work with us and those who serve us.
For those who have asked us, unworthy as we are, to pray for them.
For travelers by land, sea, air and space.
For prisoners and captives.
For those who are hungry, suffering, sick and in need.
For those who departed from this life in the hope of the resurrection.
And for ourselves let us pray “Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.”
The Lord is my shepherd I shall lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil.
For You are with me, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies,
You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Into your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, I commit my soul and my body.
Bless me, have mercy on me, and grant me eternal life.
Through the prayers of our holy fathers and mothers,
Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen.
