Prayer of St. Isaac the Syrian to Christ
(in which he appeals to Christ as to one person, who is simultaneously God and man)
(in which he appeals to Christ as to one person, who is simultaneously God and man)
O Christ who are covered with light as though with garment, who for my sake stood naked in front of Pilate, clothe me with that might which You caused to overshadow the saints, whereby they conquered this world of struggle. May Your divinity, Lord, take pleasure in me, and lead me above the world to be with You. O Christ, upon whom the many-eyed cherubim are unable to look because of the glory of Your countenance, yet out of Your love You received spit upon Your face: remove the shame from my face and grant an open face before You at the time of prayer.
