Молитва 6-я, к Иисусу Христу
A Prayer for Rest and Purity
The petitioner asks for divine protection during sleep and the grace to live a life of virtue.
Lord our God, in whom we have believed and whose name we call upon above every name, as we go to sleep, grant rest to our souls and bodies. Guard us from every fantasy and dark pleasure; still the surge of our passions and extinguish the fires of bodily desire.✦ Grant that we may live chastely in our actions and words, so that, by embracing a life of virtue, we do not lose the good things you have promised; for you are blessed forever. Amen.
Read the original Latin
Го́споди Бо́же наш, в Него́же ве́ровахом, и Его́же и́мя па́че вся́каго и́мене призыва́ем, даждь нам, ко сну отходя́щим, осла́бу души́ и те́лу, и соблюди́ нас от вся́каго мечта́ния, и те́мныя сла́сти кроме́; уста́ви стремле́ние страсте́й, угаси́ разжже́ния воста́ния теле́снаго. Даждь нам целому́дренне пожи́ти де́лы и словесы́; да доброде́тельное жи́тельство восприе́млюще, обетова́нных не отпаде́м благи́х Твои́х, я́ко благослове́н еси́ во ве́ки. Ами́нь.
