[How the Widows are to Pray for Those that Supply Their Necessities.]
XIII. Thou art blessed, O God, who hast refreshed my fellow-widow. Bless, O Lord, and glorify him that has bestowed these things upon her, and let his good work ascend in truth to Thee, and remember him for good in the day of his visitation. And as for my bishop, who has so well performed his duty to Thee, and 40 Not in one V. ms. has ordered such a seasonable alms to be bestowed on my fellow-widow, who was naked, do Thou increase his glory, and give him a 41 Not in one V. ms. crown of rejoicing in the day of the revelation of Thy visitation. In the same manner, let the widow who has received the alms join with the other in praying for him who ministered to her.
[13] Εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἀναψύξας μου τὴν συγχήραν: εὐλόγησον, Κύριε, καὶ δόξασον τὸν διακονήσαντα αὐτῇ, καὶ τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ ἀναβαίη ἐν ἀληθείᾳ πρὸς σέ, καὶ μνησθήσῃ αὐτοῦ εἰς ἀγαθὸν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπισκοπῆς αὐτοῦ: καὶ τὸν ἐπίσκοπόν μου τὸν καλῶς σοι λειτουργήσαντα καὶ διδάξαντα εὔκαιρον ἐλεημοσύνην γυμνῇ οὔσῃ τῇ συγγήρῳ μου γενέσθαι, προσθείης αὐτῷ δόξαν καὶ δώῃς αὐτῷ στέφανον καυχήσεως ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀποκαλύψεως ἐπισκοπῆς σου. Ὁμοίως καὶ ἡ λαβοῦσα χήρα τὸ ἔλεος συμπροσευχέσθω τῷ διδόντι αὐτῇ τὴν διακονίαν.
