Tuesday, August 20 : Thalassios the Libyan

Master of everything, Christ, deliver us of all evils, Passions that destroy us those thoughts born of the passions. Because of you we were created, in order to enjoy the delights where you placed us in the garden of paradise planted by you. We brought upon us the present dishonor for having preferred ruin to blessed delights, we have received in us your remuneration for those who have exchanged eternal life for death. Now therefore, O master, just as you once upon looked at us At our end regard us. As you made man, save us all. Because you came to save us, we who were lost. Do not detach us from the saved. Resuscitate our souls and save the body, purify us of any defilement. Break the links of the passions that hold us, You who broke the phalanges of unclean demons. And deliver us from their tyranny, so that we can serve you alone, eternal light, resurrected from the dead and with the angels, dancing the blessed round, Eternal and indissoluble. Amen
