Lord, give me Your humble spirit, so that I do not lose Your grace and not begin to weep for it, as Adam wept for paradise and God. Lord, You are Merciful; tell me what should I do in order for my soul to humble itself? Lord, grant us the gift of Your holy humility. Lord, grant us the presence of your humble Holy Spirit, just as you came to save people and lift them up to heaven so that they may see your glory. Most Holy Mother of the Lord, ask, O Most Merciful One, for us a humble spirit. All Saints, you live in heaven, and you see the glory of the Lord, and your spirit rejoices - pray that we too may be with you.

Heavenly Father, God, have mercy on us!
Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us!
Holy Soul, God, have mercy on us!
