spirits, You said to our Father Peter, through the Mouth of Your

Only Begotten Son, Our Lord, God and saviour Jesus Christ:

"You are Peter; and upon whom this rock I build My Church;

and the gates of hell shall not prevail against her, and I will give

you the keys to the Kingdom of heavens; Whatsoever you shall

bind on earth shall be bound in heavens; whatsoever you shall

absolve on earth shall be absolved in heavens." Now O’ Lord, let

Your servants: my fathers, my brothers and my weakness, be

absolved by my mouth through Your Holy Spirit.

Good and Lover of mankind. O’ God, Bearer of the sins of the

world, accept the repentance of Your servants as a light of

understanding and forgiveness of sins. For You are a compassionate

and merciful God: You are long-suffering, plentiful in

mercy and righteous. And if we have sinned against You, in

word or deed, remit and forgive us as You are the good lover of

 

Mankind. O’ God absolve us, and all Your people, from all

curses, all treasons, every false witness, every broken oath and of

the confrontation with the pagans and the heretics.

Grant us Our Master strength and understanding so that we

may flee permanently from every evil deed. Grant us to obtain

Your Approval at all times. Inscribe our names with the heavenly

creatures, through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who Is Blessed

with You and the Holy Spirit, Now and evermore Amen.

Remember my weaknesses O’ Lord. Forgive my numerous sins.

Increase Your Grace to obliterate and cover the abundance of my

sins.

Please do not hinder Your people for the sake of my sins and the

infidelity of my heart.

Absolve me and all Your people.

Remember O’ Lord the peace of Your One and Universal Church

of God.

Remember O’ Lord our Father Pope Shenouda III and his

brother in the apostolic ministry father Ignatious Zakka and all

his partners in the apostolic ministry the metropolitans and the

bishops.

His face upon us and have mercy upon us. Lord save

Your people, bless Your inheritance, shepherd them and

protect them forever. Exalt the horn of the Christians
