We also pray to the Lover of mankind, Christ our God, that He may send down a blessing on all those who labor willingly, benefactors, donors, and those who show mercy to all who suffer, and imams will take care of them, for their mental and physical health, so that through His love we may be saved from the depths of our hearts and cry out to Him, O Almighty Creator, our Savior, mercifully hear and soon have mercy.
We also pray to the All-merciful Lord our God that He will not cast us sinners away and deprive us of His earthly blessings, which we need, and through this ministry of mercy we will inherit what you yourself commanded, so that we may have love for each other. All the more, have mercy and be merciful to those who require Your help and intercession, O Merciful Lord, hear us soon and mercifully have mercy."

May the protection of the Queen of Heaven rest over our Fatherland, over the city of Moscow, over our Church and over all of us. By Her power and intercession before Her Son and our God, may the Lord preserve our Fatherland and all of us who are on the path of salvation to the very moment when human life naturally stops, but the life of an individual, human life does not stop, but passes into another world. And God grant that in that other world, the Lord will show mercy to all of us who, during our earthly lives, maintained faith in the Lord and Savior and tried to do good to the people around us according to His commandments to the best of their ability. Amen to that."
