Μή μοι λέγε· ἐγὼ λαϊκός· πῶς εὔξομαι ὑπὲρ ἱερέως; Ἄκουε τῆς γραφῆς λεγούσης· «προσευχὴ δὲ ἦν ἐκτενὴς γινομένη ὑπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας» καὶ ἐλύθη τὰ δεσμὰ Πέτρου· Παύλου δὲ τὴν σιωπὴν ἔλυσεν εὐχή· λέοντας ἐχαλίνωσεν εὐχή· τὸ κῆτος ἐφίμωσεν εὐχή· παράδεισον ἤνοιξεν εὐχή· εὐχὴ οὐρανίου ἁψίδας ἀνεπέτασεν· εὐχὴ Κορνηλίου τοὺς οὐρανοὺς διεπέτασεν· εὐχὴ τὸν τελώνην δίκαιον εἰργάσατο.
