I found the Prayer of Thanksgiving (Armenian) one: littlearmenia.com/html/news/local.asp?id=171. All I did was do a google search for "Prayer of Thanksgiving Armenian" (without the quotes, of course) and it was the first link shown. :cool: If u apply the same principle in your searches for the other prayers, there’s a good chance you’ll find at least some of the other ones.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Thank you.
But some prayers, like the prayer of the shrine cannot be found. In successive posts, I will post the text of the prayers for our benefit.
 
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. Since we have no defense, we sinners offer this supplication to You, our Master: have mercy on us. Glory be. …Lord, have mercy on us, for in You we place our hope. Be not exceedingly angry with us nor mindful of our transgressions, but even now look upon us with mercy and deliver us from our enemies. For You are our God and we are Your people; we all are the work of Your hands and we call upon Your Name. Now and ever… .Open unto us the doors of mercy, O blessed Mother of God, that we, who place our trust in you, may not perish, but that through you we may be delivered from misfortune. For you are the salvation of all Christians.

The Examination of Conscience Take a few minutes for an examination of conscience.

Following the examination, continue with: Lord, have mercy. Twelve times.

The First Prayer
O eternal God and Ruler of all creation, You have allowed me to reach this hour. Forgive the sins I have this day committed by word, deed or thought. Purify me, O Lord, from every spiritual and physical stain. Grant me to rise from this sleep to glorify You by my deeds thoughout my entire life and that I be victorious over every spiritual and physical enemy which fights against me. Deliver me, O Lord, from all vain thoughts and evil desires, for Yours, Father +, Son, and Holy Spirit, is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and ever and forever. Amen.

The Second Prayer
O loving Mother of our most gracious King, O pure and blessed Virgin Mary, pour forth into my restless soul the grace of your Son, our God. Lead me by your prayers to salutary deeds that I might spend my whole life without fault and attain paradise through you, O Virgin Theotolcos; for you are pure and blessed forever. Amen.

The Third Prayer
O Guardian Angel, protector of my soul and body, to your care I have been entrusted by Christ. Obtain for me the forgiveness of the sins committed by me this day. Protect me from the snares of my enemy that I may never more offend God by sin. Pray for me, your sinful and unworthy sep*/ant, that through your help I may become worthy of the grace and mercy of the Most Holy Trinity + and of the immaculate Mother of our Lord God, Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Fourth Prayer
We are yours, O Theotokos. Since you have delivered us from all tribulations we give thanks to you by dedicating our songs of victory to you, O Saving Champion. In your invincible might deliver us from all dangers that we may exclaim to you: Hail, full of grace! Amen. The Hymn of the Evening O joyful Light! Light and Holy Glory of the Father immortal, the heavenly, holy, the Blessed One: O Jesus Christ. Now that we have reached the setting of the sun and see the evening light, we sing to God, Father +, Son and Holy Spirit. It is fitting at all times to raise a song of praise in measured melody to You, O Son of God, the Giver of Life. Behold, the universe sings Your glory!
 
Great and most high God, you alone possess immortality and dwell in unapproachable light. You made all creation with wisdom, dividing light from darkness, establishing the sun to rule the day and the moon and stars to rule the night. You have allowed us sinners to approach your presence with thanksgiving in this present hour and to offer you evening praise. O Lord, Lover of us all, make our prayer ascend to you like incense and accept it as a sweet fragrance. Grant that we may spend the present evening and the coming night in peace; clothe us with the armor of light. Deliver us from the fears of the night and from everything that lurks about in darkness.Grant that the sleep you have given us to refresh our fatigue may be free from all illusions of the devil. Yes, O Master of all, giver of good things, let us feel contrition as we lie on our beds, remembering your name throughout the night. Enlightened by meditation on your commands, may we rise with gladdened soul to give glory to your goodness, offering prayers and supplications to your compassion for us in our sins and those of all your people. Visit us with mercy through the intercession of the holy Theotokos.For you, O God, are good and love us all, and we glorify you, Father+, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.

That is yet an another one. Which of these 3 Byzantine evening prayers is indulgenced? That is the main problem I encounter when I search in that way.

You’ll have to check the official Manual of Indulgences (if u have one) and see if that prayer is in there. From what I understand, though, this Manual is the only official English translation of the document ENCHIRIDION INDULGENTIARUM. If u don’t have this Manual, u can still do an English translation of the ENCHIRIDION INDULGENTIARUM document if u have some kind of language translation extension on your browser. I use the S3.Google Translator extension on my Firefox browser, but any would probably do just fine. But keep in mind, of course, that all translation softwares aren’t perfect, and there will be many sentences that will sound confusing.

If I have time later on (and if you’d like), I can check these prayers for u on my Manual of Indulgence book, since I actually do own one. 🙂

For the Byzantine Tradition there are various translations:

Evening PrayerEvening, morning, and at noon we praise you, we bless you, we thank you, and we pray to you, Master of All, Lord and Lover of us all. Let our prayer rise like incense before you and do not let our hearts be turned to evil words or thoughts, but deliver us from all that might ensnare our souls. For to you, Lord, O Lord, our eyes are turned and in you we hope; let us not be put to shame, O our God. For to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is due all glory, honor, and worship now and ever and forever.

This is a link to a translation that seems fine.

Scroll down to concessions, no. 23. You see, the text of the prayers is not given just below, unlike prayers of the Latin rite.

Is this the only one u can’t find? I found it in the Manual, but don’t have time at the moment to post it.

I am posting the prayers I am able to find, as you have seen. It was to post this post. I will continue to post like this.

Just state if they are the correct ones.

And the prayer laku mara was in the list, but I knew it (byheart, ,actually) so I back spaced it.
 
Prayer to glorify Christ, Ethiopian. I have not seen it as I do not have permission to download anything from my parents. So can some poster just read, copy, paste them and post here?

Coptic prayer to glorify Mary, The Mother of God is something I have not found.
 
Syro-Maronite Farewell to the Altar

Remain in peace, O Altar of God. May the offering that I have taken from you be for the remission of my debts and the pardon of my sins and may it obtain for me that I may stand before the tribunal of Christ without condemnation and without confusion. I do not know if I will have the opportunity to return and offer another sacrifice upon you. Protect me, O Lord, and preserve your holy Church as the way to truth and salvation. Amen.
 
That’s it, suko. It’s all I could find. Are these the ones in the enchiridion of indulgences?

I could not find the rest. Since typing them is laborious and time consuming, can you take photos that are clear and large enough to read and post them?

And I hope that you uave the English translation as, to this Eastern Catholic South Indian , Latin is all Greek!
