God of my fathers is He and I exalt Him;
For He is greatly glorified.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

DAY2

THURSDAY

Choose.. The Cross...

Where shall I begin to weep for the actions of my wretched life?
What first-fruit shall I offer, O Christ, in this my lamentation?
But in Thy compassion grant me forgiveness of sins.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

DAY3

FRIDAY

The Desired Fast...

Come, wretched soul, with thy flesh, to the Creator of all.
Make confession to Him, and
Abstain henceforth from thy past brutishness and
Offer to God tears of repentance.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

DAY4

SATURDAY

Follow the Way...

I have rivaled in transgression Adam, the first-formed man, and

Of the eternal Kingdom and its joy,
Because of my sins.

Day5

MONDAY

Commands to Sheep & Goats...

Woe to thee, miserable soul!
How like thou art to the first Eve!
For thou hast looked into wickedness and wast grievously wounded;
Thou hast touched the tree and rashly tasted the deceptive food.
Have mercy on me O God have mercy on me.

Day6

TUESDAY

Word of our Father...

Instead of the visible Eve, I have the Eve of the mind:
The passionate thought in my flesh, showing me what seems sweet;
Yet whenever I taste from it, I find it bitter.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

Day7

WEDNESDAY

Greater than Jonah...

Adam was justly banished from Eden
Because he disobeyed one commandment of Thine, O Savior.

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

DAY8

THURSDAY

Lord, Come, I Knock...

By my own free choice I have incurred the guilt of Cain’s murder.

Bringing the flesh to life and
Making war upon the soul,
By my wicked actions.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

DAY9

FRIDAY

Unfair? Iniquity!...

Jesus,
I have not been like Abel in his righteousness.
Never have I offered Thee acceptable gifts or

Have mercy on me, O God, Have mercy on me.

DAY10

SATURDAY

Follow Commands Perfectly...

Like Cain, O miserable soul,
We too have offered to the Creator of all,
Defiled actions and a polluted sacrifice and a worthless life;
And so we also are condemned.

WEDNESDAY

Plots & Places...

Though I have sinned, O Savior,
Yet I know that Thou art full of loving-kindness.

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

I am the man who fell among thieves,

But come to me, O Christ my Savior, and heal me.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me. 

Day16

SATURDAY

Fathers' Sons...

The priest saw me first, but passed by on the other side;
The Levite looked on me in my distress, but despised my nakedness.
O Jesus, sprung from Mary, do Thou come to me and take pity on me.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.
