Speak our names also, Christ God, and call us out of the darkness of sin and into the radiant light of repentance. Lift us from the dread of death to the vista of Christian renewal, since we have renounced all worldly ways and wish to be filled with faith, hope and charity. Thereby released from the tomb of our own making, we may cry out in gratitude:
Save us that we may walk forward in the True Faith.
Save us, that we may render all glory to God.
Save us, that we may live in obedience to His divine will.
Save us, that we may fulfill the teachings of the Scriptures.
Save us, that we may joyfully mourn for our sins.
Save us, that we may be comforted by the Holy Spirit.
Save us, that we may behold the beauty of the Theotokos.
Save us, that she may find in us a heart that loves her Son.
Save us, that we may learn the right path from Mary Magdalene.
Save us, that she may pray for us in times of tribulation.
Save us, that we may be a blessing to others.
Save us, that they may see the image of God in us.
Christ our Savior, save us.
