Ἐννοῶ τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν φοβεράν, καὶ θρηνῶ μου τὰς πράξεις τὰς ῥυπαράς· πῶς ἀπολογήσομαι, τῷ ἀθανάτῳ Βασιλεῖ; ποίᾳ δὲ παῤῥησίᾳ ἀτενίσω τῷ Κριτῇ, ὁ ἄσωτος ἐγώ; Εὔσπλαγχνε Πάτερ, Υἱὲ μονογενές, τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, ἐλέησόν με.

I think about that fearful day, and I lament my filthy deeds. How shall I argue in my own defense before the immortal King? How can I face the Judge with confidence, the prodigal that I am? O compassionate Father, only-begotten Son, and Holy Spirit, I implore, have mercy on me! [GOASD]

When You sit to pass righteous judgment, in the valley of weeping, in the place You appointed, O merciful Master, please do not make public the sins I committed in private, please do not embarrass me in the presence of the Angels. I beg You, spare me, O God, and have mercy on me! [GOASD]

Lord have mercy on us, for in You we trust. Be not enraged with us greatly, nor remember our iniquities. But look upon us now, being compassionate, and deliver us from our enemies. For You are our God, and we Your people, all of us the work of Your hands, and now we have invoked Your name. [SD]

Ἀρχὴ σωτηρίας ἡ τοῦ Γαβριὴλ προσηγορία, πρὸς τὴν Παρθένον γέγονεν· ἤκουσε γὰρ τὸ Χαῖρε, καὶ οὐκ ἀπέφυγε τὸν ἀσπασμόν, οὐκ ἐδίστασεν ὡς ἡ Σάῤῥα ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ, ἀλλʼ οὕτως ἔλεγεν· Ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη Κυρίου, γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου.

Gabriel’s salutation of the Virgin was the beginning of our salvation. For she heard him say, Rejoice, and did not reject the greeting. * She did not hesitate, like Sarah in the tent, but rather this is what she said, * “Behold the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” [SD]

You are indifferent, my soul, * as you live out your whole life, * and you have never brought to mind * the frightful day of judgment. * Now get a grip of yourself and decide * to repent and return and pray to Christ, * “O compassionate Lord, remember not our many sins * in the hour of judgment.” [SD]

Ἐλέησόν με, ὁ Θεός, κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου, καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐξάλειψον τὸ ἀνόμημά μου. Ἐπὶ πλεῖον πλῦνόν με ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου, καὶ απὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου καθάρισόν με. Ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ γινώσκω, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστι διὰ παντός. Σοὶ μόνῳ ἥμαρτον, καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐποίησα· ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου, καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις ἐκίσσησέ με ἡ μήτηρ μου. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀλήθειαν ἠγάπησας· τὰ ἄδηλα καὶ τὰ κρύφια τῆς σοφίας σου ἐδήλωσάς μοι. Ῥαντιεῖς με ὑσσώπῳ καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι· πλυνεῖς με καὶ ὑπὲρ χιόνα λευκανθήσομαι. Ἀκουτιεῖς μοι ἀγαλλίασιν καὶ εὐφροσύνην· ἀγαλλιάσονται ὀστέα τεταπεινωμένα. Ἀπόστρεψον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας μου ἐξάλειψον. Καρδίαν καθαρὰν κτίσον ἐν ἐμοί, ὁ Θεός, καὶ πνεῦμα εὐθὲς ἐγκαίνισον ἐν τοῖς ἐγκάτοις μου. Μὴ ἀποῤῥίψῃς με ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμά σου τὸ ἅγιον μὴ ἀντανέλῃς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ. Ἀπόδος μοι τὴν ἀγαλλίασιν τοῦ σωτηρίου σου καὶ πνεύματι ἡγεμονικῷ στήριξόν με. Διδάξω ἀνόμους τὰς ὁδούς σου καὶ ἀσεβεῖς ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπιστρέψουσι. Ῥῦσαί με ἐξ αἱμάτων, ὁ Θεός, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου· ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου. Κύριε, τὰ χείλη μου ἀνοίξεις καὶ τὸ στόμα μου ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν αἴνεσίν σου. Ὅτι εἰ ἠθέλησας θυσίαν, ἔδωκα ἄν· ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐκ εὐδοκήσεις. Θυσία τῷ Θεῷ πνεῦμα συντετριμμένον· καρδίαν συντετριμμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην ὁ Θεὸς οὐκ ἐξουδενώσει. Ἀγάθυνον, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου τὴν Σιὼν καὶ οἰκοδομηθήτω τὰ τείχη Ἰερουσαλήμ. Τότε εὐδοκήσεις θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης, ἀναφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα. Τότε ἀνοίσουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου μόσχους.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy; and according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from my lawlessness and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my lawlessness, and my sin is always before me. Against You only have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be justified in Your words, and overcome when You are judged. For behold, I was conceived in transgressions, and in sins my mother bore me. Behold, You love truth; You showed me the unknown and secret things of Your wisdom. You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; You shall wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow. You shall make me hear joy and gladness; my bones that were humbled shall greatly rejoice. Turn Your face from my sins, and blot out all my transgressions. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Your guiding Spirit. I will teach transgressors Your ways, and the ungodly shall turn back to You. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall greatly rejoice in Your righteousness. O Lord, You shall open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise. For if You desired sacrifice, I would give it; You will not be pleased with whole burnt offerings. A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit, a broken and humbled heart God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Your good pleasure to Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built; then You will be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with offerings and whole burnt offerings; then shall they offer young bulls on Your altar.

O Saint, you received the grace to do many miracles. * You frightened the demons with awe-inspiring signs; * and you drove out serious diseases from people, all-wise Gregory. * And therefore rightly for your deeds * the title of Wonderworker was given you. [SD]

Ἐὰν ἀπὸ τῶν θαυμάτων, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ λοιπὸν αἰσχυνθήσομαι, ὑπὲρ τὴν ψάμμον γὰρ ὑπάρχουσι· διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούει θαυματουργός, τὴν κλῆσιν ἐξ ἔργων κομισάμενος.

Where shall I, the wretch, begin to weave the praises of the devout Saint, seeing so many extraordinary wonders? If I focus on just his life, I could not tell it all; for his godly life surpasses every mind. If I stay with just his miracles, well, this would also put me to shame; for they are more than the sands of the sea. And therefore rightly for his deeds * the title of Wonderworker was given him.

Τὰ τῆς καρδίας μου τραύματα, ἐκ πολλῶν ἁμαρτημάτων φυέντα μοι, ἰάτρευσον Σωτήρ, ὁ τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ σωμάτων ἰατρός, παρέχων τοῖς αἰτοῦσι, πταισμάτων τὴν συγχώρησιν ἀεί, παράσχου μοι δάκρυα μετανοίας, διδούς μοι τὴν λύσιν τῶν ὀφλημάτων Κύριε, καὶ ἐλέησόν με.

O Savior, heal the wounds of my heart, which have grown in me because of many sins, O physician of souls and bodies. As You ever grant forgiveness of offenses to those who ask, grant me tears of repentance, and give me the remission of my debts, O Lord, and have mercy on me. [SD]

Στίχ. Ἐνεπλήσθημεν τὸ πρωΐ τοῦ ἐλέους σου, Κύριε, καὶ ἠγαλλιασάμεθα καὶ εὐφράνθημεν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἡμῶν· εὐφρανθείημεν ἀνθʼ ὧν ἡμερῶν ἐταπείνωσας ἡμᾶς, ἐτῶν, ὧν εἴδομεν κακά. Καὶ ἴδε ἐπὶ τοὺς δούλους σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ ὁδήγησον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν.

Verse: We were filled with Your mercy in the morning, and in all our days we greatly rejoiced and were glad; gladden us in return for the days You humbled us, for the years we saw evil things. And behold Your servants and Your works, and guide their sons. [SAAS]

Γυμνόν με εὑρὼν τῶν ἀρετῶν ὁ ἐχθρός, τῷ βέλει τῆς ἁμαρτίας ἔτρωσεν, ἀλλὰ σὺ ὡς ἰατρὸς ψυχῶν τε καὶ σωμάτων, τὰ τραύματα τῆς ψυχῆς μου θεράπευσον, ὁ Θεός καὶ ἐλέησόν με.

The enemy found me naked of any virtues, so he shot me with the arrow of sin. But I pray You, the physician of souls and bodies, heal the wounds of my soul, and have mercy on me, O God. [SD]

Στίχ. Καὶ ἔστω ἡ λαμπρότης Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν ἡμῶν κατεύθυνον ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ τὸ ἔργον τῶν χειρῶν ἡμῶν κατεύθυνον.

Verse: And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us, and prosper for us the works of our hands. [SAAS]

Κύριε, ἐν τῇ μνήμῃ τῶν Ἁγίων σου, πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις ἑορτάζει, οὐρανοὶ ἀγάλλονται σὺν τοῖς Ἀγγέλοις, καὶ ἡ γῆ εὐφραίνεται σὺν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, αὐτῶν ταῖς παρακλήσεσιν, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
