In Thy loving kindness incline Thine ears to our supplications, we pray Thee, O Lord. Do Thou who art mindful of the prayers of those who seek Thee in secret hear us in Thy mercy, so that by Thy help we may attain to eternal life.

We beseech Thee, O Lord, afford the help of Thy consolations to Thy people, and in Thy mercy help them to bear the burden of their daily cares.

O Almighty God, bestow Thy mercies with a bountiful hand, that we, who by despising Thee have sinned, may by confessing our offences obtain Thy pardon.

O God, refuge of the poor, hope of the humble, and consoler of those in sorrow, in Thy loving kindness hear the prayers of Thy people. Grant that those who, according to Thy justice, have been chastised with afflictions, may, by Thy quickening power, receive strength and healing.
