GOD, Who hast sounded into our ears Thy divine and salutary oracles; Illuminate the souls of us sinners to the comprehension of that which has been read, so that we may not only be seen to be hearers of spiritual things, but doers of good works, following after faith without guile, blameless life, conversation without charge of guilt; in Christ Jesus our Lord, with Whom Thou art blessed, with Thy most Holy and Good and Quickening Spirit, now and ever and to ages of ages. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.137).
