          May Christ’s saving work continue to the end of the ages, and may we feel a more urgent call to work for the salvation of every creature.

          We pray this, as did your priest Demetrius Gallitzin, through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

          Amen.
