+ 1ST POEMS: Yet This Final Measure, 08, Prayers Upon My Prayer-Rope

1

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me

the sinner, and in Your infinitely Merciful clemency,

hear the prayer of my need graciously.

Most Holy Mary, Mother of God, help me.


2

At the foot of Your Cross, Lord, I worship through the Divine Liturgy.

And I proclaim Your Holy Resurrection gratefully:

the Bright and Morning Star has risen before PASCHA's dawn,

and He will raise me to His Kingdom beyond the stars, all obstacles gone.

 



Author's Notes/Comments: 

The second stanza was inspired, loosely, by the poems of Fyodor Tyutchev.
