July The Seventeenth

O GOD, the eternal Light, the Splendor of the stars, the Clearness of the night; the Enlightener of the darkness, grant us to pass this night in security and peace; and, if we have this day contracted any stain of sin, do Thou, the Pitiful and Merciful, forgive; hear our prayers, and grant our requests; through Jesus Christ our Savior - Amen.

-- MOZARABIC, BEFORE A.D. 700
