St. Basil Invocation
O Lord our God, your power is unimaginable
and your glory is inconceivable. Your mercy
is immeasurable and your love for us is beyond
all words. In your compassion, O Lord, come
to us in this holy place and grant us the riches
of your mercy. Reveal your glory to us and
let us experience your holiness. Help us to live
in your hope and to share your love with our
world. In this way we truly worship you, Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit, both now and forever. Amen.
