Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy, Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us.
God the Father of heaven,
God the Son, Redeemer of the world,

Holy Mary,
Holy Mother of God,
Holy Mary, conceived without sin,
St. Stanislas Kostka,
Destined to the service of God from thy conception,
Faithful follower of Jesus Christ,
Well-beloved child of Mary,
Called by her to the society of Jesus,
Faithful to the vocation and grace of God,
Most worthy son of St. Ignatius,
Pray for us.
Fair ornament of the society of Jesus,
Model and patron of novices,
Enemy of the world and of its riches,
Contemner of human glory,
Severe chastiser of thine innocent flesh,
Admirable in thy matchless purity,
Vanquisher of every evil passion,
Exact observer of religious discipline,
Devout adorer of the Sacrament of the Altar,
Treasure of heavenly graces,
Mirror of obedience, humility, and patience,
Model of candor, modesty, and piety,
Ardent lover of evangelical poverty,
Wise above thy years,
Lover of brotherly charity,
Penetrated with self-contempt,
Victim of divine love,
Example of Christian youth,
Honored with the sensible presence of the Infant Jesus,
Pray for us.
An angel in thy life and manners,
Fed by angels with bread from heaven,
An apostle in zeal and merits,
A martyr in faith and in desire,
A confessor in constant piety,
Ushered into heaven amid a choir of virgins,
Perfect in all virtues, notwithstanding thy short life,
The ornament and glory of thy ancestors,
The stay and prop of thrones,
The refuge and the safety of all who call upon thee,
Illustrious in the miracles wrought both before and after thy decease,
Pray for us.
Most blessed citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem, Pray for us.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us.

Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us.

V. Pray for us, St. Stanislas.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

O God, who, amongst other miracles of thy wisdom, hast bestowed even in tender age the grace of matured sanctity; grant, we beseech thee, that, redeeming the time by instant labor, after the example of blessed Stanislas, we may hasten to enter into eternal rest. Through Christ our Lord Amen.
