O GOD, who has instructed the hearts of the faithful with the light of the Holy Spirit, grant by that same Spirit to know the correct ways and to always rejoice from Thine divine consolations.
O GOD, do not permit those who await in Thee, to be afflicted excessively, but instead deign Thou piously attend to our supplications: we give Thee thanks for having accepted our petitions and prayers, supplicating most piously that we deserve to see us free from all adversity.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
