A Rose is a Rose

YHVH, my God, my Father,
in the name of Your Son;
Jesus who is called, "The Christ,"
I ask,
imploring Your Divine Mercy,
present in his blood & water,
which gushed forth as a fount of mercy,
I ask,
send forth holy angels of God,
into our three Kyrgyz properties,
to teach us Your Divine Law.

Instruct us, Father,
in the ways of righteousness;
and bring us to holiness, Father.

If You can, shatter our pride,
and if You cannot;
then drive us out into dark places,
that we may not offend You,
in the presence of Your angels.

I ask,
instill our holy images;
with Your blessing, Father.

And draw our gaze into these,
that the truth come into us;
so we may either accept the truth,
or be driven out by the truth.

That the glory of Your name,
and the name of Your Son;
be established in our homes,
unto the end of the world.
