Transfiguring Repentance

Here’s the latest session with Chris Green and the gang, discussing the repentance chapter in his book, Being Transfigured.

Here’s the prayer from St. Isaac Chris mentions in the session:

My flesh-and-bone God,

You wept over Lazarus—

let me weep over you.

Let your feet, nailed to the tree,

make my feet like the feet of a deer.

Let your hands, stretched out in death,

teach my hands to war.

Let your head, bowed in death,

lift up my head.

Let your mouth, filled with gall,

fill my mouth with songs.

Let your face, bruised and spat upon,

brighten my eyes.

By your passion, cure my passions.

By your wounds, wound my heart.

By your blood, purify my heart.

Again and again, I forsake you—

do not forsake me.

I’m a sheep lost in the wilds—

bear me home in your arms.

Feed me by the still waters of your mysteries.

Hide me in the shelter of your heart,

the secret place of the Most High.

Make my heart a home for your holy family,

a throne for you and all with whom share it.

May I become worthy of the way you see me .

Now and unto the ages of ages.

Amen.
