Occasional Prayers
Prayer Before the Icon of Christ
Pray by candlelightWe reverence Your spotless icon, O gracious Lord, and ask forgiveness
of our transgressions, O Christ our God. Because of Your own good will
You ascended the Cross in the flesh, that You might deliver those who
You had created from the bondage of the enemy. We cry aloud unto You:
You have filled all things with joy, O our Savior, for You came to save
the world. Amen.
