Classic Prayer: Dimitri of Rostov (1651)
“Open, O doors and bolts of my heart, that Christ the King of Glory may enter! Enter, O my Light, and enlighten my darkness; Enter, O my Life, and resurrect my deadness; Enter, O my Physician, and heal my wounds; Enter, Divine Fire, and burn up the thorns of my sins; Ignite my inward parts and my heart with the flame of Thy love; Enter, O my King, and destroy in me the kingdom of sin; Sit on the throne of my heart and reign in me alone, O Thou, my King and Lord.”

Creed: Jesus, The Son of God
LEADER: Why is the Son of God called “Jesus,” meaning “savior?”
PEOPLE: Because He saves us from our sins, and because salvation is not to be sought or found in anyone else.
LEADER: Why is he called “Christ,” meaning “anointed?”
PEOPLE: Because He has been ordained by God the Father and has been anointed with the Holy Spirit to be our chief prophet and teacher who fully reveals to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our deliverance; our only high priest who has delivered us by the one sacrifice of His body, and who continually intercedes for us before the Father; and our eternal king who governs us by His Word and Spirit, and who guards us and keeps us in the deliverance He has won for us.
