O holy apostles, who renounced all things in this world to follow, at the first invitation, the Master of all, Jesus Christ: obtain that I may live so detached from all earthly goods as always to be ready to follow the divine inspirations. Gloria.
-
O holy Apostles, who, instructed by Jesus Christ Himself in the knowledge of salvation, devoted your whole lives to announce His divine Gospel to different nations: obtain for me that I may not only faithfully preserve myself in the most holy religion which you founded amidst so many difficulties, but, like you, endeavour to promote its glory with all my powers. Gloria.

O holy Apostles, who after punctually observing and preaching the religion of Christ, confirmed its truth by laying down your lives, amidst the most cruel torments with the utmost intrepidity: obtain for me, I pray, the grace that I may be ready, like you, to endure death rather than betray, for an instant, the cause of faith. Gloria, &c.
