Almighty and everlasting God, who heal-
est us by Thy chastisements, and preservest
us by Thy pardon; grant unto us, Thy sup-
pliants, that we may both rejoice in the
comfort of the deliverance which we have
implored, and also use the gifts of Thy
mercy for the amendment of our lives:
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
