December 7th.
-
O most glorious Archbishop, who, though averse to honours and dignity, yet accepted them rather than contend against the Divine Will, and became a model of every virtue to the whole world: obtain, I pray, for me, the grace never to desire any distinction from the world, but to place my whole glory in the exact performance of the divine will. Gloria.
-
O most glorious St. Ambrose, who had, during your whole life, to employ yourself to defend the truths of faith against the assaults of heresy and impiety: obtain for me, I pray, the grace constantly to profess, and to defend with courage till death, that holy faith in which alone there is salvation. Gloria.

O most glorious archbishop, St. Ambrose, who never feared to preach the truth in the ears of the most powerful, and triumphed over all hearts by your heavenly eloquence: obtain for me, I pray, the grace that I may never allow myself to be restrained by human respect, and that by the sweetness of my words, and the meekness of my manners, I may edify all my neighbours, whilst at the same time I am attending to my own sanctification. Gloria.
