Addressing God as

Shine within our hearts, O Master who lovestlove mankind, the pure light of ThyYour divine knowledge, and open the eyes of our mind to understand the message of ThyYour Gospel. Implant in us also the fear of ThyYour blessed commandments, that, trampling down all carnal desires, we may pursue a spiritual way of life, thinking and doing all that is pleasing to TheeYou. For ThouYou artare the illumination of our souls and bodies, O Christ our God, and to TheeYou we send up glory, together with ThineYour unoriginate Father and ThineYour all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
