Hello all-

Please pray for me, that I may withstand the assaults of the evil one which gather against me.
Thank you.

In Christ,

Markos

O Lord, though I wish to blot out
with my tears the handwriting of my many sins
and for the rest of my life to please Thee
with sincere repentance; yet now the enemy
leads me astray as he wareth against my soul with his cunning.

O Lord before I utterly perish do thou save me!

I humbly pray to the Archangel Michael for your protection against the evil one, my dearest brother in Christ, Markos.

PRAYER TO
SAINT MICHAEL
THE ARCHANGEL

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

In Christ,
Alice

AMEN!

May the power of the Eucharist cover and consume you...

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen....

Through the intercession of Sts. Michael and Mark the Evangelist, I pray that the assaults of the evil one will cease and desist. I pray that the healing balm of grace will flow over you. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His countenance shine upon you. May you have the Peace of Christ.

Prayers for Markos that he be safe from evil


"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

Markos, may the God Who separated the light and the dark of day and night grant you the ability to see His workings even in the gathering darkness.

Again, I thank you all for your prayers! I've survived, at least for now.

Of course, I also thank my guardian angel, St. Michael, and all the saints. But there is someone in particular I'd like to thank...

Τη υπερμάχω στρατηγώ τα νικητήρια
Ως λυτρωθείσα των δεινών ευχαριστήρια
Αναγράφω σοι η πόλις σου Θεοτόκε.
Αλλ� ως έχουσα το κράτος απροσμάχητον
Εκ παντοίων με κινδύνων ελευθέρωσον
�Ινα κράζω σοι. Χαίρε, Νύμφη ανύμφευτε.

[I hope that came out legibly!]

Indeed, Markos...our blessed Lady Theotokos never fails to come to our assistance with her motherly concern and love....

Unto you o Theotokos,
your city in thanksgiving ascribes the victory
for the deliverance from sufferings
and having your might unassailable
free us from all dangers, so that we may
cry:
Hail o Bride Ever Virgin!

Haire Nimphi Animfevte!

(Thanks for the Greek version of the troparion of the Akathist Hymn...which is most beautiful when it is chanted)

In Christ,
Alice
