What praise, of what hymn, of what thanksgiving, or what recompense shall we offer unto you, the only God, who loves mankind?
For when we were condemned to destruction and immersed in our sins, you did bestow freedom upon us, and have given us the immortal and heavenly nourishment of the body and blood of your Christ. Therefore we pray that you deliver us from judgment, together with your servants who minister unto you. Keep us and them in honor and holy living; and those who pray with us, and who have been partakers of your mystical table, preserve free of condemnation until their last breath. May it be unto them a sanctification of soul and body, unto the keeping of your commandments, and thus may we be granted to attain your heavenly kingdom, together with all who have been well-pleasing unto you from all ages.
