from all but His
remembrance, that the All-Powerful may graciously aid you to achieve
supreme victory:--
"O God, my God! We are servants of Thine that have turned with devotion to
Thy Holy Face, that have detached ourselves from all beside Thee in this
glorious Day. We have gathered in this spiritual assembly, united in our
