Priest:       Blessed is our God, always, now and ever and unto the ages of ages.

Reader:      Amen.

Heavenly King, O Paraclete, the Spirit of truth, who art everywhere

come and tabernacle in us and cleanse us from every stain and save,
O Good One, our souls.

                   Lord have mercy (3x) …

                  …
