“Having risen from sleep, before any other action, stand reverently, considering thyself to be in the presence of the All-seeing God, and, having made the sign of the Cross, say: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Then pause a moment, until thy senses are calmed and thy thoughts forsake all things earthly; and then make three bows, saying: The Prayer of the Publican: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.”
