O Christ, Crowner of the saints, who crownest thy saints, and fulfillest the desire of them that fear thee, and lookest with love and sweetness upon thy creatures: Hear us from heaven, from thy sanctuary, through the intercession of the holy Mother of God, and by the supplications of all thy saints, and of those whose memory is [kept] this day. Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy; pardon, expiate, and remit our sins. Make [us] worthy with thanksgiving to glorify thee with the Father and with thy Holy Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. [Amen.]
