Noon Prayer

† In the Name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, one true God:

Glory be to Him, and may His Grace and mercy be upon us forever - Amen.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, by whose glory, the heaven and the earth are filled; Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is He, who has come, and is to come, in the name of the Lord; Glory be to Him in the highest.

[Kauma]

Holy art Thou, O God!
Holy art Thou, Almighty,
Holy art Thou, Immortal,
† Crucified for us, Have mercy on us. (Repeat thrice)

Lord, have mercy upon us,
Lord, be kind and have mercy,
 Lord, accept Thou our offices,
and our entreaties; Have mercy on us.

Glory be to Thee, O God!
Glory be to Thee, O Creator,
Glory be to Thee, O King,
Christ who dost pity Sinners, Thy servants. † Barekmor.

[Lord's Prayer]

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 debts and sins, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from the evil one. For Thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever.  Amen.

[Hail Mary]

Hail, Mary, full of Grace, our Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh Virgin Saint Mary, Oh Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at all times, and at the hour of our death.   Amen.

[Kolo]

            Our Heavenly Father, we call upon you for help.  You are the only one who can help us in the time of our need.  With your own will, you have created us from nothingness into existence.  Father do not destroy us in your anger.  Have mercy on us.  Lord teach us to obey and observe your commandments.  Help us to become your beloved children by doing good deeds pleasing to you.  Oh gracious Lord, have mercy on us.  Barekmor.
            Lord, we confess that we have kept away from your presence with our evil deed and sinful behavior.  We have become nominal Christians.  We would like to repent, but our pride stops us from doing so.  We try to teach others goodness, but we do not follow goodness among us.  We try to quench the spiritual thirst of others, but we remain empty all the time.  Jesus Christ, our Lord, please allow us to drink from the stream of your pierced chest, the life giving blood of yours.  Have mercy on us.     Moriorahammalain...

            Our Lord and our God Jesus Christ, we call upon you for mercy.  Come to our aid and help us.  Turn your ears to our supplications and have mercy upon our souls. Lord, we want to stay close to you all the time.  Our sins have taken us away from your presence.  But we know that you are the most merciful and can take us back to you.  The devil has trapped us cunningly and wounded us mercilessly.  Jesus Christ, our great healer, heal us from our wounds.  O Lord, cover us form the trap of the evil one.  Jesus, our Good Shepherd, search and rescue your lost children from death and destruction.  Lord, do not let your sheep be torn apart by the roaring wolf.  Lord, you can take us to heaven or send us to hell.  Do not send us to hell and have mercy on us.

[Kauma]

[Kolo]

            O Virgin Saint Mary, Mother of God, do not interrupt your intercession for us.  Please keep praying for us to your son, Jesus Christ, so that He will show mercy on us.  Barekmor.
           
            Our heavenly Father, the creator of everything visible and invisible, please bring peace and concord to the world with the prayers and intercession of your prophets who loved you greatly, and the apostles who preached your Gospel to the world. Our Lord, you are the sovereign ruler of both heaven and earth.  Protect the living with your victorious cross (†), and comfort and absolve our departed brothers and sisters, who died with the hope in thee.
