You, Lord, offered Yourself as a sacrifice on the cross for my salvation. Can I, too, reject the burden of people’s unfair judgments about me? Grant, Lord Jesus, that, thinking about those insults and slander that You endured for me, my heart learns patience, and not only without irritation, but even with gratitude, willingly endured the insults and condemnations of others. I beg You for one thing, Lord, do not leave my enemies forever in their blindness, but finally illuminate them with the ray of Your grace. Amen.

Lord, why have we multiplied the cold? Many people rise up against me, many people say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. But you, Lord, are my Protector, my glory, and lift up my head. With my voice I cried to the Lord, and He heard me from His holy mountain. I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me. I will not be afraid of those people around who attack me. Arise, Lord, save me, my God, for you have struck down all those who were at enmity with me in vain: you have crushed the teeth of sinners. Salvation is the Lord, and Your blessing is upon Your people.
