Wayne,

I’m talking about an Orthodox type of prayer generically called "akatist". This one was translated into Romanian in 1997, probably from Greek or Russian. The prayer is very long, it takes mi 20-25 minutes to read it and probably it would take about 2-3 hours to translate it, and most likely it won’t be an accurate translation.

Here are some quotes, just to get an idea about the content.

“The angels with shining faces are continuously praising the Holy Spirit, according to the respect owed to the Fountain of Life and of the Uncreated Light.”

“Come eternal distant Sun and make your bower into us”

“Come eternal light and dissipated will be the illusions and the fears”

“Come and search all who are thirsting after your light”

“Come and enlighten our mind at the hour of doubt”

“Give us the wreath of Your gifts, the eternal and all-forgiving love, that is sorrowing for the enemies and wants all to be redeemed, and be cleaned by it, like the sons of the light we should shout Alleluia!”

“Heavenly emperor, Holy Spirit, make us worthy of the seven folded crown of your gifts […]” (Notice that the solar god Mithra had a seven spiked crown, just like the Statue of Liberty, as can be seen on my web page)

Petre,

I am always interested in the spiritual aspects of
sungazing. Thus, I would like to read your prayer to
the Holy Ghost. I think Omraam Aivanhov wrote in
"Toward a Solar Civilization" that the trinity is in
the sun. I would add that the Divine Mother is in the
earth and the rest of condensed material creation. I
pray to the Sun, but I don't often pray to the Earth.
