Orthodoxy on the Web
Caveat lector:As with the Internet in general, expect a great variety in the quality and legitimacy
(canonical or ecclesiastical) of Internet sites found through any sources other than canonical Church's
official sites. Though some sites may be perfectly helpful, other sites on the Internet may reflect a
strong bias or agenda that is presented as valid and necessary to Orthodoxy while it may be something
entirely else.
A Morning Prayer (for spiritual strength)
attributed to St. Philaret of Moscow
O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace. Help in all things to rely upon Your holy will. In every hour of the day, reveal Your will to me, bless my dealings with all who surround, teach me to treat all that comes to me throughout the day with peace of soul and firm conviction that Your will governs all. In all my deeds and works, guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by You. Teach me to act firmly and wisely without embittering or embarrassing others, give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will, teach me to pray, You Yourself pray in me. Amen.
