CollectE te Atua Kaha Rawa,
tāu Tama, tō mātou Kaiwhakaora a Īhu Karaiti he oranga mutungakore kia noho hei kaiwawao mō mātou; aroha mai mō ō mātou ngoikoretanga, i runga i tōu atawhai hōmaitia ngā taonga pai e kore nei mātou e āhei ki te īnoi, engari mā roto i tōna painga, ko ia e ora ana, e kīngi tahi ana me koe me te Wairua Tapu, kotahi anō Atua, ināianei, ā, mō ake tonu atu. Āmine. Almighty God, your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ ever lives to make intercession for us; have pity on our weakness, and in your mercy give us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, except through his merits, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen. |
