November 30th.
-
By that admirable promptitude with which you, O glorious St. Andrew, followed Jesus Christ as soon as you heard St. John pronounce Him to be the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world; and by which you brought to Him your brother, who became the head of the Apostolic College: obtain for us all the grace to follow instantly the divine inspirations, and to bring, according to our power, our neighbours likewise into the good path. Gloria.
-
By the admirable zeal with which you, O glorious St. Andrew, traversed through various nations, preaching the gospel of salvation, and converting an infinite number of persons to the faith of Jesus Christ: obtain for us all generously to confess the truth, and zealously to extend the glory of our most holy religion, in spite of all the snares and persecutions of the world. Gloria.
-
By that holy joy with which you, O glorious St. Andrew, saluted afar off, and embraced the cross upon which you were about to be sacrificed; by the lively desire you had for martyrdom, praying the Lord not to permit you to be detached from the gibbet, when the proconsul, fearful of a popular tumult, would have restored you to liberty: obtain for us the grace always to love crosses and sufferings in this world, that we may at length attain to the perfect and eternal blessedness of Paradise. Gloria.
