Let's pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.
Master Lord Jesus Christ our God, who for the sake of Your ineffable love for mankind was clothed in flesh with the Ever-Virgin Mary at the end of the ages, we glorify Your saving providence for us, Your servants, O Lord; Let us sing praises to You, as we know You for the Father’s sake; Let us bless You, for whose sake the Holy Spirit has come into the world, we worship Your Most Pure Mother in the flesh, Who served such a terrible secret; We praise Your angelic presence, as the singers and servants of Your Majesty; We bless the Forerunner John, who baptized You, O Lord; We honor the prophets who proclaimed You, we glorify Your holy apostles; We triumph and the martyrs, we glorify Your priests, and we worship Your saints, and we cherish all Your righteous ones. We bring such and such a many and ineffable face of the Divine into prayer to Thee, the all-generous God, Thy servants, and for this sake we ask forgiveness for our sins, grant us all of Thy for the sake of the saints, more abundantly than Thy holy bounties, for Thou art blessed forever. Amen.
