553

And your almighty hand reigns, [O you who are] the expiator of all; who came not to destroy the souls of men, but to save [them]. Forgive me my innumerable evils through your abundant mercy. For you alone are ineffable in heaven and unsearchable on earth; in the elements of existence and to the utmost ends of the earth; the beginning of all, and in all; blessed in the highest in all fullness. And to you, with the Father and your Holy Spirit, be glory forever. Amen.

Prayers of each person believing in Christ, composed by Saint Nersēs the Graceful [Šnorhali].

In faith I confess and I worship you, Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, uncreated and immortal nature, Creator of angels and of humans and of all that exists; and have mercy upon your creatures, and upon me, a manifold sinner. In faith I confess, and I worship you, indivisible Light, co-equal Holy Trinity and one Godhead, Creator of light and dispeller of darkness.
