Let us ask Jesus Christ "who showed Himself so admirably in these martyrs" (Alleluia) also to make manifest in our souls the effects of His divine power so that, "enjoying peace in this life, we may in the other receive the eternal reward" (Collect).
Justi epulentur, et exultent in conspectu Dei, et delectentur in laetitia. * Exsurgat Deus, et dissipentur inimici ejus: et fugiant qui oderunt eum, facie ejus.
Let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness. * Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered: and let them that hate Him flee from before His face.
(Psalm 67:4,2 from the Introit of Mass)
Exaudi, Domine, populum tuum cum Sanctorum tuorum patrio cinio supplicantem: ut et temporalis vitae nos tribuas pace gaudere; et aeternae reperire subsidium.
Hear Thy people, O Lord, supplicating Thee through the intercession of Thy saints: that Thou wouldst grant us to enjoy peace in this life, and obtain help unto life eternal.
(Collect)
