I know, Savior, that none other

has, as I have, sinned against You.

nor done the deeds that I have done.

But this again I surely know:

neither magnitudes of error,

nor multitudes of transgressions,

can surpass my God’s great patience

and His love for man unbounded.

– St. Symeon the New Theologian, “Prayers for the Preparation for Holy Communion”
