Our Morning Offering – 14 June – The Memorial of St Basil the Great (329-379) Bishop, Confessor, Father and Doctor of the Church
O Christ, Our Master and Our God
By St Basil the Great (329-379)
Father and Doctor of the Church
O Christ, our Master
and our God,
King of the ages and Creator of all,
I thank You for all the good things
You have given to me
and for the reception
of your most pure and life-giving Mysteries.
I pray You, therefore,
O good Lover of humankind,
keep me under Your protection,
in the shadow of Your wings.
Grant that with a pure conscience,
until my last breath,
I may worthily partake of Your Holy Things,
for the forgiveness of sins
and for life everlasting.
For You are the Bread of Life,
the Fountain of Holiness
and the Bestower of Blessings
and to You, we give glory together
with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
now and forever and ever,
Amen.
