Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
 Deus, qui Fílio tuo in cruce exaltáto compatiéntem Matrem astáre voluísti, † da Ecclésiæ tuæ, ut, Christi passiónis cum ipsa consors effécta, eiúsdem resurrectiónis párticeps esse mereátur. Qui tecum.
 
 Dóminus vobíscum.
 
 r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
 
 Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
