Prayer at the Foundation of a House

Потребно е да имаме куќа, нашиот дом за живеење. Кога ке започнеме да ја градиме нашата куќа, потребно е да викнеме свештеник кој ке ги освети темелите. Од самиот почеток, потребно е да дојде силата Господова и да не благословува, води, помага и отстранува сите пречки од лукавиот, кои може да бидат направени во текот на градењето.

Luke 6;48
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
Matthew 16:18
18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from the Evil One:

Psalm 69 (70)

O God, be attentive to help me. Lord, make haste to help me.
Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek my life.
Let them be turned back and be ashamed who desire evil against me.
Let them be turned back because of their shame, who say to me, Well done! Well done!
Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
and let those who love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!
But as for me, I am poor and needy; O God, help me!
You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay

O Lord, who created the universe at the beginning and gave to each thing his own rank, do not despise the works of your hands, but with an eye of mercy look from heaven upon this vine and restore it according to your will, turning aside from it every purpose that brings corruption and every destroyer; for you are our Shepherd and Deliverer and Saviour and from you we receive helpin mercy and acts of compassion, as we glorify you, O Master.

Застапништво на христијаните, со кое нема да се посрамиме, неизменливо посредништво пред Творецот, не презирај ги молитвените гласови на грешниците, но побрзај, како добра, да ни бидеш на помош на сите, кои со вера те повикуваме: Богородице, постојана заштитничке, побрзај и дојди на помош во молитвата и молењето на оние, кои те почитуваат.

Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.

O God Almighty, Who made the Heavens with wisdom and has established the earth upon its sure foundations, the Creator and Author of all men, look upon these Your servants (Names), to whom it has seemed good to set up a house for their dwelling in the dominion of Your Power, and to rear it by building; establish it upon a stable rock, and found it according to Your divine word in the Gospel, so that neither wind, nor flood, nor any other thing shall be able to harm it; graciously grant that they may bring it to completion, and deliver all them who shall wish to dwell therein from every attack of the enemy; for Yours is the dominion, and Yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages.
