O holy Apostles, who renounced, at the first invitation, all things in the world to follow Jesus Christ, the great Master of all men: obtain for us that we may so live with our hearts detached from earthly goods, that we may be always ready to follow the Divine inspirations. Gloria.
-
O holy Apostles, who, instructed by Jesus Christ in the science of salvation, immediately set forth to announce the Holy Gospel to divers nations: obtain, we pray you, for us, that we may faithfully practise the holy religion which you established, amidst so many difficulties, and may also spread and defend it by all the means which are in our power. Gloria.
-
O holy Apostles, who after having observed with the utmost fidelity, and preached with the greatest energy, the holy Gospel of Jesus Christ, confirmed its truth by sustaining with courage the severest persecutions and martyrdom in its defence: obtain, we pray you, for us that we may be always prepared like you to suffer death, rather than betray, in the slightest degree, the cause of faith. Gloria.
