St. John Chrysostom Prayer Of Thanksgiving
What
praise, of what hymn, or what thanksgiving, or what
recompense shall we offer unto Thee, the Only God,
Who lovest mankind?
For when we were condemned to destruction and
immersed in our sins, Thou didst bestow freedom upon
us, and hast given us the immortal and heavenly
nourishment of the Body and Blood of Thy Christ.
Therefore we pray Thee: Deliver us from judgment,
together with Thy servants who minister unto Thee.
Keep us and them in honor and holy living; and those
who pray with us, and who have been partakers of Thy
Mystical Table, preserve free of condemnation unto
their last breath.
May it be unto them a sanctification of soul and
body, unto the keeping of Thy Commandments; and thus
may we be granted tp attain Thy Heavenly Kingdom,
together with all who have been well-pleasing unto
Thee from all ages:
Through the prayers and intercessions of our holy,
all-pure, most blessed and glorious Lady, the Birth
giver of God and Ever-Virgin Mary, of Saint N. whose
memory we keep, and of all Thy Saints, now and ever,
and unto ages of ages.
Amen.
