O<\/span> glorious Saint Andrew, preacher, monk, and poet of the Faith, filled with compassion for those who invoke you, I kneel at your feet and humbly beg you to take my present need under your special protection and to make your prayer mine:<\/p>\n

Listen, O heaven, and I will speak. O earth, hear the cry of one returning to God and singing His praises.<\/p>\n

Look down on me in Your mercy, O compassionate God and Saviour, and accept my fervent confession.<\/p>\n

More than all have I sinned; I alone have sinned against You, O God my Saviour, but have compassion on me, Your creature.<\/p>\n

V<\/strong><\/font> Most holy Saint Andrew, pray for us
\nR<\/strong><\/font> That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.<\/p>\n

Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be.<\/em><\/p>\n

Young monk at Mar Sabas. Monk at the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem at the age of 15. Sent to Constantinople by Patriarch Theodore of Jerusalem in 685 to accept the decrees of the Council of Constantinople. He stayed there as head of an orphanage and a men\u2019s home for aged. <\/p>\n
