O Lord our God, we pray unto Thee, and we beseech Thee, that the light of Thy countenance may be shown upon Thy servant, (Name), and that the cross of Thine only-begotten Son may be graven in his heart and in his thoughts, that he may flee from the vanity of the world and from every evil snare of the enemy, and may follow after Thy commandments. And grant, O Lord, that Thy Holy Name may remain unrejected by him and that he may be united, in due time, to Thy holy Church, and that the terrible Mysteries of Thy Christ may be administered unto him, that having lived according to Thy commandments and preserved without flaw the Seal he may receive the bliss of the elect in Thy kingdom; through the grace and love toward mankind of Thine only-begotten Son, with whom Thou art blessed, together with Thine all-holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Rejoice, Virgin Theotokos, thou who art full of grace: For from thee hath shone forth the Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God, who giveth light to them that are in darkness. And rejoice, thou aged, righteous man, that didst receive in thine arms the Redeemer of our souls, who giveth unto us resurrection.
May Christ our true God, through the intercessions of His all-immaculate Mother, and of all the saints, gave mercy upon us and save us, forasmuch as He is a good and merciful God and loveth mankind.
Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy upon us and save us. Amen.
