Grant me tears of consolation, unceasing compunction, true repentance, and perfect correction of life. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not despise me, O Lady, but mercifully accept this prayerful voice of mine, which I, the poor one, offer to You. Come to my aid in the time when I am without help, in the terrible hour when my soul is separated from my defiled body. Then come to me, I pray You, and deliver me from my sins, and from the eternal punishment for them, so that the evil spirits and the fiery Gehenna may not rejoice.  <br\/>O my Lady, do not allow my soul to see the terrible torment that the demons have prepared for it, but come and save Your servant in that terrible hour, that I may glorify You forever, for You are my only Hope and Intercessor for my salvation. Amen! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_gspb_post_css":""},"prayer-category":[78],"class_list":["post-3449","prayer","type-prayer","status-publish","hentry","prayer-category-78"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stsimeonmiami.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prayer\/3449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stsimeonmiami.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prayer"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stsimeonmiami.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prayer"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stsimeonmiami.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stsimeonmiami.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"prayer-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stsimeonmiami.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prayer-category?post=3449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
