Glory to the Father, and to the Son, O Good Father, I distanced myself from
Thee. Do not forsake me, nor show me as useless in Thy Kingdom. The vile enemy has denuded me; he has stolen my Wealth. The Gifts of my soul I have squandered with abandon. So, having risen once again, I return to Thee and cry: Treat me as one of Thy hirelings. For Me Thou stretched out Thy Pure Hands upon the Cross to snatch me from the fearsome beast, and to vest me with that former dignified apparel, for Thou alone art great in Mercy.
