Orthodox Christians have already celebrated the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord in 2022, but literally in a week they will celebrate Trinity, the twelfth celebration. Of course, during this day special services are held in churches. Also, not a single church holiday is complete without prayers. From Ascension to Trinity, prayers are read both in churches and at home - as your heart desires. However, everyone strives to pray correctly, and not just mumble something from the heart.
Prayer heals and alleviates moral suffering. Before Trinity, it is read to renew the grace of the Holy Spirit. Firstly, they pray for the acquisition of the afterlife, and secondly, they ask for forgiveness for sins. Prayers are communication with God. From Ascension to Trinity they are especially strong and significant.

The prayer of Saint John of Damascus, pointing to your bed, says:
Master, Lover of Mankind, will this coffin really be my bed, or will you still enlighten my damned soul during the day? For seven the grave lies ahead, for seven death awaits. I fear Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil: I always anger You, the Lord my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the Heavenly powers, and the holy Angel my wounder. We know, Lord, that I am unworthy of Your love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, either I want it or I don’t want it, save me. If you save the righteous, nothing great; and even if You have pure mercy, nothing is marvelous: for you are worthy of Your mercy. But on me, a sinner, surprise Thy mercy: for this show Thy love for mankind, so that my malice may not overcome Thy ineffable goodness and mercy: and as You will, arrange a thing for me.
And even if you recline on your bed, say this:
Enlighten my eyes, O Christ God, / lest I sleep into death, / lest my enemy say: / I have strengthened myself against him.
Glory: O God, protector of my soul, / as I walk in the midst of many nets; / deliver me from them / and save me, O Blessed One, as a Lover of Mankind.
And now, Mother of God: The most glorious Mother of God, and the Most Holy Angel of all saints, / let us silently sing with our hearts and lips, / confessing this Mother of God, / as she who truly gave birth to us God incarnate, / and they say constantly speaking about our souls.

Oh, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen.

Remember, Lord, our captive brothers and deliver me from every situation. Remember, Lord, those who bear fruit and do good in Your holy churches, and give them also petitions for salvation and eternal life.
