Prayer from the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

O Christ,
great and holiest Passover!
O Wisdom, Word, and Power of God!
Grant that we may receive you more perfectly
in the day of your eternal kingdom.
May our lips be filled with your praise,

O Lord,
so that we may sing your glory;
for you have been pleased
to make us sharers in your holy, divine,
immortal, and life-giving Mysteries
Keep us in your holiness
so that all day long
we may learn your goodness.
We thank you, Lord, Lover of humankind,
Benefactor of our souls,
because you have been pleased today
to make us sharers in your heavenly
and immortal Mysteries.
Make straight our paths.
Strengthen us in awesome reverence for you.
Guard our life,
Guide our steps,
through the prayers and intercession
of the glorious Mother of God,
the ever-virgin Mary,
and of all your saints.
Amen.
