A Prayer From Saint Gregory of Narek

Sun of justice, ray of blessings, form of light, cherished desire, Exalted beyond understanding, mighty beyond telling, joy of goodness, hope realized, praised by heaven, king of glory, Christ creator, life proclaimed finish, I pray, the meanderings of my wretched, errant voice with your own mighty words. Help me to polish a pleasing prayer, to bring before your Father on high. You who took on my likeness submitting for my sake to trial and condemnation, take pity on me. You who bless all life, God of Goodness, who provide all things above and below, who were willing to die for me, God and Lord of all, who have borne the pangs of mortal flesh, take pity on me, for I am wracked with pain. Take pity on me, stay with me, a wretched sinner, and pray with me to your Father, your equal in glory.
