( en ) check the viewer243va : He who has written it and he who has let it be written, he who has read it and he who has interpreted it and he who has heard its words – may the King of Glory Himself write their names upon a pillar of light with a pen of gold, in Heavenly Jerusalem, and may He not delete their supplications from the book of life. May He count them together with the holy martyrs, and may He satiate them with the meal of life. May He give them to drink from the spring of life, and may He place upon their heads the helmets of salvation which would look like luminaries upon them. For in Your hands are the mercy and the spiritual gifts, o Lord, to You be praise from the mouth of Your poor people, for ever and ever. Amen, amen and amen.
