PRAYER OF ST. MACARIUS THE GREAT TO GOD THE \nFATHER (M) \nO eternal God and King of all creation, who hast granted me to \narrive at this hour, forgive me the sins that I have committed \ntoday in thought, word, and deed, and cleanse, O Lord, my \nhumble soul from all defilement of flesh and spirit. And grant me, \nO Lord. to pass the sleep of this night in peace, that when I rise \n!27\n\nEVENING PRAYERS\nfrom my bed, I may please Thy most holy Name all the days of my \nlife and conquer my flesh and the fleshless foes that war with me. \nAnd deliver me, O Lord, from vain and frivolous thoughts, and \nfrom evil desires which defile me. For Thine is the kingdom, the \npower, and the glory, of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and \never and unto ages of ages. Amen.
