Kei te Kitáb-i-Aqdas te kōrero: “Ko tā mātou kupu ki a koutou kia tuku inoi, kia korekai mai i te tīmatatanga o te pakeketanga (15 ngā tau); nā Te Atua tēnei kupu, ko tōu Ariki, te Ariki o ō mātua tūpuna … ēngari mō te tangata e hāereere ana, te hunga e māuiui ana, te wahine hapū, whāngote kōhungahunga ana rānei … Kaua e kai, kaua e inu mai i te whitinga mai o te rā ki tōna tōremitanga, kia mataara kei haukotia koe e hiahia mai i te whai tohu kua tuhia ki te Pukapuka.”

Ko te wā o te nohotapu ki te korekai mai ī te 2 kī te 20 o Maehe.

Ko ia tēnei, e tōku Atua, te tuatahi o ngā rā Nāu ngā tau o Tōu ate i whakahau kia Korekai. Ko tāku inoi ki a Koe, Māu ake, ā, māna i korekai mai i te aroha ki a Koe, ki Tāu i hiahia ai – kaua rawa ki tāna ake noa, ki te wehi rānei ki Tāu takariri – ā, mā Ōu nei ingoa pai rawa, āhua hirahira hoki, Āu pononga e purea i tua atu i te aroha ki a Koe tonu, kia whakatatahia rātou ki te aroaro o te Whitinga-o-te-rā o Tōu mata me te Tūru o te torōna o Tāu kotahitanga. Whakamāramatia mai ō rātou pūmanawa, e tōku Atua, ki te rama o Tōu mōhiotanga, whakangihangia mai ō rātou kanohi ki ngā hihī o te Rā mai i te pae o Tāu e Hiahia ai. Kei a Koe te mana e taea ai e Koe ko tā Tō ngākau e hihiko ai. Kāore he Atua i tua atu i a Koe te Korōria-Katoa, ko Tāu āwhina e inoitia ana e ngā tāngata katoa.

Awhinatia mai rātou, e tōku Atua, kia tukua ki a Koe te wikitōria, kia whakakorōriatia hoki Tāu Kupu. Meinga hoki rātou hei ringaringa o Tō Kaupapa ki waenga o Āu pononga, hei kaiwhakakite o Tāu whakapono, hei tohu i waenga o te ira tangata, kia kī pai ai te ao ki Tōu maharatanga, whakakorōriatanga hoki, me Āu taunakitanga, tautohu rā anō hoki. Ko Koe, tūturu, te Whairawa-Katoa, te Whaikorōria Rawa, te Pūkaha, te Mananui, me te Tohu Atawhai.
