Before the Dismissal from Prayer Service (Divine Liturgy or Vespers or Compline), the priest says: Let us pray to the Lord!
Faithful: Lord, have mercy!
The priest reads this prayer, on the solea, facing east:
Lord, our God, the One who is rich in mercy and, with your wise care, you guard our lives, listen to our prayer, receive our repentance for sins, stop the new contagious disease (the new epidemic), as you have ceased to punish the people in the days of King David. You who are the Doctor of our souls and our bodies, gives healing to those contaminated by the disease, raising them hastily from the bed of pain, to glorify You, the Most Merciful Savior, and those who are healthy protect them from any disease. Bless, strengthen and guard, Lord, with Your grace, all those who, with love of people and sacrifice, care for the sick at their homes or in hospitals. Removes all disease and suffering from the people and teaches us to value life and health as gifts coming from Your. Grant us, O God, your peace, and fill our hearts with unwavering faith in your protection, with hope in your help, and with love towards Your and our neighbor. That Yours is to have mercy and to save us, our God, and to Your we give glorify: Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever and ever.
Faithful: Amen.
