In the abundance of your mercies,
O Lord, remember all your people;
all those present who pray with us;
all our brethren on land,
at sea, or in the air,
in every place of Your domain,
who call upon your love for mankind.
Upon all, pour down your great mercy,
that we, saved in body and in soul,
may persevere unfailingly;
and that, in our confidence,
we may extol your exalted and blessed Name,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
always, now and forever.
Amen.
