A Prayer by Tamav Irini




(Thanks to Hoda for translating this prayer from Arabic.)

God help us praise You from our hearts ..... Let us worship You with the spirit and the truth.... Lord You are the God of mercy, love and emotion. You created the heavens and decorated it with Your great glory  and angels .... You are the foundation of the earth and everything in it.  God You are able to do anything.

My God, Jesus Christ don't treat us according to our evil doing, sins, weakness and don't treat us according to Your fairness but rather with Your everlasting mercies.... Your mercy are numerous. Your mercy is like a flowing river..... Your mercies purify us from our evil and sins. Yes God You are merciful and kind..... Yes God sympathetic, merciful and loving.

God we are weak and meek, but we believe in Your kindness that You will not treat us according to our sins but rather with Your mercies... God You are able to work with us and through us.... You are able to change us with Your everlasting humbleness and kindness.... God You are able to give us kindness from Yours.

God You were honest on the cross. So give us to love with Your love. Gives us to love You from all our hearts and all our thoughts. Don't leave us alone with our sorrows and weakness. Choose the life You want for us. God give us to enjoy You because Your will is the best for us.

Teach us God how to live with You... Because life with You is so beautiful and sweet.... Living with You is so sweet, peaceful and calming.   Please don't deprive us from Your glorious mercies.   God please look to Your church in these hard days..... This is Your church and You are her savior... Look at her with a merciful eye... You are able to save her.

You are the God of everybody. You are the king of kings and lord of lords. You created the earth and everything on it. Our pope Shenouda give him aid.  He is Your ambassador on earth fortify him and protect him. He has suffered a lot in Your name.

Guard Your church from Satan.  Protect her from the evil enemy.  Save her O Jesus Christ. It's Your church and You have saved it with Your holy blood   You are the creator of the verses and miracles .... And You will not forsake the church You spilled Your blood for. We hope that You will never leave Your church. We hope in spite of our ego and kebria2 that withholds us from You. Fill us O God with Your holy spirit. God our life is short on earth. Please let the rest be with You. In love with You and with others.

Listen O God to us for Your mother’s sake and for the sake of Your saints. You know that I am weak, who am I to stand and pray for You. Listen for Your saint prayers. I wish that You make me live with You the rest of my life because what if a person won the world but lost his soul?.... Make us live with You from all our hearts and all our thoughts and all our mind. Make us joyful with You Jesus Christ with the amazing life. Living with You is heaven itself.   Have Mercy on us with the concession of the holy virgin Mary Your gentle mother and the payers of all Your saint. And make us worthy to pray thankfully.....


Our Father...
