...by which he saved [his] creatures, and by the shedding of his blood granted remission to those who hope in him. Almighty Lord our God, save [us] and have mercy.

[RUBRIC: Prayer]

Prostrating before you, beneficent and abundant-in-mercy God, we beseech [you] with all our hearts and ask mercy from you; as you promised to your servants and said: "Everything whatever you shall ask in faith in the name of the Son from the Father shall be given to you." Grant even now to us who believe in you, and fulfill our requests for good, for we have taken refuge in you. And by your abundant mercy comfort us in this life, and leading [us], bring [us] to your ineffable heavenly kingdom, unto the praise of glory and unto the honor of your all-holy Trinity, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
