O Lord Jesus Christ, open the eyes of my heart, that I may hear your word and understand and do your will, for I am a sojourner upon the earth. Hide not your commandments from me, but open my eyes, that I may perceive the wonders of your law. Speak unto me the hidden and secret things of your wisdom. On You I set my hope, O my God, that You will enlighten my mind and understanding with the light of your knowledge, not only to cherish those things which are written, but to do them.
—St. John Chrysostom
Matthew 11:2-15

A reed shaken by the wind? 8If not, what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses! 9But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet! 10Indeed, he is the one of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. 11Amen, I tell you: among those born of women, there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer! Yet the least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he. 12From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John [came]. 14If you are willing to accept it, this [John] is Elias (Elijah) who was to come. 15Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!
Romans 9:18-33

Who can resist his will?” 20But who indeed are you, a human being, to argue with God? Will the thing formed ask the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” 21Does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor? 22What if God, willing to show his wrath and also to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath fitted for destruction; 23and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory? 24That is us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles? 25As he says also in Hosea: I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved. 26It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ There they will be called ‘children of the living God.’ 27Isaias (Isaiah) cries concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved; 28For he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth. 29As Isaias (Isaiah) has said before: If the Lord of Hosts had not left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And would have been made like Gomorrah. 30What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, [still] attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith; 31but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not in fact arrive at the law of righteousness. 32Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but by the works of the law! For they stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33even as it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; And whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.

Troparion - Arising from Sleep
Having arisen from sleep, we fall down before thee, O Good One, and sing to thee, O Mighty One, the angelic hymn: Holy, holy, holy art thou, O God; through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
Troparion - From Bed and Sleep

Suddenly the Judge shall come and the deeds of each shall be revealed; but with fear let us cry out in the middle of the night: Holy, holy, holy art thou, O God; through the Theotokos have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy.
Prayer to the Holy Trinity
Arising from sleep I thank thee, O Holy Trinity, because, of thy great goodness and long suffering, thou wast not wroth with me, slothful and sinful as I am, neither hast thou destroyed me in my transgressions, but in thy compassion thou hast raised me up as I lay in despair, that at dawn I might sing the glories of thy majesty. Do thou now enlighten the eyes of mine understanding and open my mouth to meditate on thy words, to understand thy commandments, to do thy will, to hymn thee in heartfelt confession, and to praise thine all-holy name, of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Come Let Us Worship
Come, let us worship and fall down before God our King. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King and God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ himself, our King and our God.
Psalm 50 (51)
Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. Against thee only have I sinned and done this evil before thee, that thou mightest be justified in thy words and prevail when thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother bear me. For behold, thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret things of thy wisdom hast thou made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made clean; thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness; the bones that be humbled, they shall rejoice. Turn thy face away from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and with thy governing Spirit establish me. I shall teach transgressors thy ways, and the ungodly shall turn back unto thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in thy righteousness. O Lord, thou shalt open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it; with whole-burnt offerings thou shalt not be pleased. A sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit; a heart that is broken and humbled God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in thy good pleasure unto Sion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be builded. Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt offerings. Then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Prayer of St. Basil the Great
We bless thee, O God most high and Lord of mercies, who ever workest great and mysterious deeds for us, glorious, wonderful, and numberless, who providest us with sleep as a rest from our infirmities and as a repose for our bodies tired by labor. We thank thee that thou hast not destroyed us in our transgressions, but in thy love toward mankind thou hast raised us up, as we lay in despair, that we may glorify thy majesty. We entreat thine infinite goodness, enlighten the eyes of our understanding and raise up our minds from the heavy sleep of indolence; open our mouths and fill them with thy praise, that we may unceasingly sing and confess thee, who art God glorified in all and by all, the eternal Father, with thine only-begotten Son and thine all-holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
It Is Truly Meet
It is truly meet to bless thee, O Theotokos, who art ever blessed and all-blameless and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the cherubim and more glorious beyond compare than the seraphim, thou who without corruption didst bear God the Word and art truly Theotokos: we magnify thee.

Memorization
The Symbol of Faith
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father; by Whom all things were made.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man.
And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried.
And the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures;
And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father;
And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets.
In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
—First Council of Constantinople (A.D. 381)
