O Beginningless Logos and Son [of the Father], Who are one with the Holy Spirit, Who together work all things and together created all things visible and invisible, bless the crown of the year, preserving the multitudes of the Orthodox in peace, through the intercessions of the Theotokos, and all Your Saints.
-Doxastikon of Stichera for the Indiction in the Plagal of the Second Tone, by Byzantios

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
