Prayer of Damascenus
The Prayer of Damascenus Concerning the Personal Union of Christ:
Well done, O Christ. What shall we, poor and wretched as we are, render to You for all these benefits? For all things are Yours, and You ask nothing of us except that we be saved. And You have given even this to us. Indeed, You have the thanks of those who receive it out of Your ineffable goodness. We thank You because, although we are not, You have given that we might be, and although we are lost, You have given of Your grace that we might be blessed. And those who have fallen from this state You have turned again and brought them back because of Your indescribable forgiveness.[1] Amen.
