Shine
within our hearts, loving Master, the pure light of Your divine
knowledge
and open the eyes of our minds that we may comprehend the message of
Your Gospel. Instill in us also reverence for Your blessed
commandments, so that having conquered all sinful desires, we may
pursue a spiritual life, thinking and doing all those things that
are pleasing to You. For You, Christ our God,
are the light of our souls and bodies, and to You we give glory
together with your Father who is without beginning and Your all
holy, good and life giving Spirit, now and forever and to the ages
of ages. Amen.
St. John Chrysostom
