Origen · On Prayer · ca. 233–234 · Caesarea · Read in context

Summary: Prayer should begin and end with praise of the Father through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.

Greek text · Koetschau 2:402

εὔλογον δὲ ἀρξάμενον ἀπὸ δοξολογίας εἰς δοξολογίαν καταλήγοντα καταπαύειν τὴν εὐχὴν, ὑμνοῦντα καὶ δοξάζοντα τὸν τῶν ὅλων πατέρα „διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ“ ἐν ἁγίῳ πνεύματι, „ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.“

English · Claude translation

And it is reasonable, having begun with glorification, to end the prayer by concluding with glorification, hymning and glorifying the Father of all “through Jesus Christ” in the Holy Spirit, “to whom be glory for ever.”
