Give strength to your servant; save the son of your handmaid, and show me a sign of goodness. Let those who hate me see and be put to shame, for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and [to the Holy Spirit]. Now and always, [and unto the ages of ages. Amen].

*Litanic proclamation (kʿaroz)* of the Church.

Through this Holy Church let us beseech the Lord, that through it He may deliver us from sins, and grant [us] life by the grace of His mercy. Almighty Lord our God, save and have mercy.
