...our [Lord], and didst make them partakers of thy voluntary sufferings. Now, we have as intercessors before thee those who are holy, both here and throughout the whole universe; so that through their prayers and intercession thou mayest bring peace to our course of life, delivering us from the visible and invisible enemy. Grant us, Lord, to live according to their example, and seal our end with an orthodox confession in the hope of eternal life; that we also may be made worthy to enter into the heavenly tabernacles of light, and to inherit the kingdom prepared for thy saints from the foundation of the world. And with them, giving thanks, we may glorify thee, with the Father and with thy Holy Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. [Amen.]

Remember, Lord, your ministers: our parents, [our] teachers (*vardapet*s [learned doctors/teachers]), [our] brethren, [our] companions, [our] nourishers, the pilgrims, the travelers, those who give rest, the laborers, the confessors, the penitents, the captives, the sick, the afflicted, the rulers, the evildoers, the benefactors, [our] enemies, [and] those who hate [us]; and those who have commended [themselves] to us in faith. Remember, Lord, and have mercy.
