At the end of the short lesson the words "Tu autem Domine, miserere
nobis; Deo gratias" are added, and after these words are said
"Adjutorium nostrum … Qui fecit … Benedicite Deus" and the Blessing,
"Dominus nos benedicat … requiescant in pace, Amen." Then Pater
Noster is said silently, unless another Hour is to follow immediately.
