Through the prayers and intercessions of our Lady, the all-holy, full-of-glory, undefiled, most blessed Theotokos, the ever-virgin Mary;

and of John, the holy prophet, forerunner, baptizer, and martyr;

and of Saint Stephen, the archdeacon, and protomartyr;

and of the holy and glorious Apostles, prophets, triumphant martyrs, and all the choirs of the saints;

and of Abba (…), lord and archbishop of the city of Alexandria, and our grateful orthodox bishops; for the well-being and repose of our holy fathers;

foremost, Mark the holy apostle, Evangelist, archbishop, and martyr;

(The names of the patriarchs who have departed are recited)

(and the one hundred and sixteenth, Abba Kyrillos VI, the high priest;)

(and the one hundred and seventeenth, Abba Shenouda III, the high priest;)

And all those who have rightly taught the word of truth: the orthodox bishops, priests, deacons, clergy, laity, and all the orthodox people. Amen.
