Prayer of Saint Symeon

Christianity. Orthodoxy. Catholicism. Sense of life. Prayers.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with.

	Prayer of Saint Symeon

Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, O Lord, according to Thy word. For my eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared in the sight of all peoples, the light of revelation for the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.

Virgin Mother of God, rejoice! Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, For thou hast borne the Saviour of our souls. (Bow)

In Lent, also these Troparia:

Glory: O Baptizer of Christ, remember us all, that we may be delivered from our sins, for to thee grace has been given to intercede for us. (Bow)

Now and ever: Holy Apostles and all Saints, pray for us, that we may be delivered from dangers, sorrows and afflictions; for we have obtained you as fervent intercessors with the Saviour. (Bow)

Under thy tender compassion we run, O Mother of God. Reject not our prayer in our trouble, but deliver us from harm, O only pure, only blessed one. (Twice).
