Կլայեցի (Շնորհալի); also Nerses Shnorhali, Nerses of Kla or Saint Nerses the Graceful; 1102 – 13 August 1173) was Catholicos of Armenia from 1166 to 1173. A more precise translation of his epithet Shnorhali is "filled with Grace". He received the appellation Shnorhali from his contemporaries because of the very irenic quality of his writing. Works In addition to the letters mentioned above, Nerses wrote a number of musical works, volumes of poetry, and theological works as well. His major literary achievements include Vipasanoutyoun, a novel written in poetic form, and Voghb Yedesyo (Lamentation on Edessa),[6] regarding the fall of Edessa.

It has been translated into English as Jesus Son. A collection of his daily prayers, Twenty-four Hour Prayers, has been translated into 32 languages, and one prayer in particular, Havatov Khosdovaneem (I Confess with Faith) is currently available in 36 languages. Morning of light, Just sun, Make your light dawn on me. Springing from the Father, Bring forth from my soul, Words pleasing to you. Treasure of mercy, Make me a discoverer of the covered treasure, Door of mercy, Open to me who professes you, And rank me with the angels. Union of the trinity, Keeper of all created things, Have mercy on me also. Awaken, Lord, and help, Awake me from my slumber, To become like the angels. You who are from the Beginning, Father, Co-being with the Son, Eternal Holy Spirit, Accept me, Compassionate God, Accept me, Merciful God, Accept me, God who loves mankind.
