Share on FacebookGood Lord, set in thy Church strong and nightly pillars that may suffer and endure great labors, which also shall not fear persecution, neither death, but always suffer with a good will, slanders, shame and all kinds of torments, for the glory and praise of thy holy Name.
By this manner, good Lord, the truth of thy Gospel shall be preached throughout the world.
Therefore, merciful Lord, exercise thy mercy, show it indeed upon thy Church.
Amen.
