"O Almighty One, we bow before you and beg for thy divine presence. Deign to grant us your favor and heed our pleas. We come to you in a time of great need, and seek your guidance and protection. Please, hear our voices and respond to us on this holy day, to reaffirm your divine power and love for your followers."
