O holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, I choose you this day and forever to be my special patrons and advocates; thee, Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles, because thou art the Rock, upon which Almighty God hath built His Church; thee, Saint Paul, because thou wast fore-chosen by God as the Vessel of election and the Preacher of truth in the whole world. Obtain for me, I pray you, lively faith, firm hope, and burning love; complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, attention in prayer, purity of heart, a right intention in all my works, diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state of life, constancy in my resolutions, resignation to the will of God and perseverance in the grace of God even unto death; that so, by means of your intercession and your glorious merits, I may be able to overcome the temptations of the world, the flesh and the devil, and may be made worthy to appear before the chief and eternal Shepherd of souls, Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth for endless ages, to enjoy His presence and love Him forever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
V. Thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
R. They shall be mindful of Thy name, O Lord.
Let us pray:
O God, Whose right hand raised up blessed Peter, when he walked upon the water and began to sink, and thrice delivered his fellow-Apostle Paul from the depths of the sea, when he suffered shipwreck: graciously hear us and grant, by the merits of them both, that we also may attain unto everlasting glory: Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen
(An Indulgence of 500 days.)
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE:
We pray for our Parish Priests and his Associates, for the Parish Pastoral Council, for the Laity Council executives, for all Organizational leaders, for all Society leaders, for all the Security team, for all the generous donors who contribute immensely financially, spiritually, intellectually and selflessly to the growth of the church.
LET US PRAY:
Dear Jesus, You called these Your sons and daughters to love and serve you. Thank You Lord for the giving them the courage and the spirit of service, leadership and generosity.
Meet them always at the point of their need.
May Your grace and blessings never depart from them and their loved ones. Reward them with eternal life
Saints Peter and Paul;
One Faith, One Heart, One Soul
