Great Lent
O Almighty Lord, who hast
made all created things in wisdom, and by Your inexpressible providence and
great goodness has brought us to these all-holy days, for the purification of
body and soul, for the controlling of carnal passions, and for the hope of the
Resurrection; who, during the forty days
gave to Your servant Moses, the
Tablets of the Law in characters Divinely written by You; Enable us also, O Good One, to fight the good
fight; to complete the course of the Fast; to preserve inviolate the Faith; to
crush under foot the heads of invisible serpents; to be victorious over sin;
and uncondemned to attain unto and adore Your Holy Resurrection. For blessed
and glorified is Your all-honorable and majestic Name: of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. The Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts,
St. Gregory the Great
