pray

Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen. (source)

Let us praise the Lord, whom the angels are praising, whom the Cherubim and Seraphim proclaim: Holy, holy, holy! Amen.
