A blessed Orthodox feast of Pentecost 2023!

Wherefore, O most merciful and philanthropic Lord, hear us on whatever day we call upon Thee, and especially on this day of Pentecost, [...] remember us, wretched and condemned. Deliver us from the (sinful) captivity of our souls by Thy loving intercession. Accept us, who kneel down before Thee and cry out: we have sinned. [...]
 
Visit us with Thy goodness and deliver us from the force of Satan and preserve our life with Thy holy and solemn laws. Commit Thy people unto a faithful guardian angel. Gather us all unto Thy kingdom. [...] Purify us by the operation of Thy Holy Spirit and remove from us the wiles of the adversary. [...]
 
Forgive us all our sins, both voluntary and involuntary [...] Protect us with Thy holy angels. Arm us with the weapons of Thy truth. Envelop us with Thy righteousness. Preserve us by Thy power, and deliver us from every oppression and from every conspiracy of the cunning one [...] by the intercessions of the holy Theotokos and all the saints who have done Thy will from the beginning of time. Amen.
Excerpts from the first prayer of the Kneeling Vespers of Pentecost.
