Monday Within the Octave

things whioh we have so well known, for the preservation of piety, and for the forgiveness of our sins ; for the name of thy Christ has been invoked upon us, and we have been joined to thee.

0 thou that hast separated us from communion with the ungodly, unite us with them that are consecrated to thee; strengthen us in the truth, by the coming of the Holy Ghost ; teach us the things we know not ; supply our deficiencies ; oonfirm us in the truths we already know.

Preserve thy priests blameless in thy service. Keep kings in peace ; magistrates in justice ; the air salubrious ; the fruits in abundance ; the world in thine almighty providence. Pacify nations that are waging war. Convert them that are astray. Sanctify thy people ; preserve thy virgins ; keep in fidelity them that are in wedlock ; strengthen the chaste ; lead little ones to mature age ; confirm the newly initiated ; teach the catechumens, and make them worthy of initiation ; and gather us all together into the kingdom of heaven, in Christ Jesus our Lord :

With whom, together with thee, and the Holy Spirit, be glory, and honour, and adoration for ever. Amen. pietatis, ad remissionem de~ lictorum ; quoniam nomen Christi tui invocatum est super nos, et tibi adjuncti sumus.

Qui segregasti nos ab impiorum communione, aduna cum iis qui tibi sunt consecrati, firma nos in veritate per sancti Spiritus adventum, quae ignoramus revela, quae deficiunt supple, quae novimus corrobora.

Sacerdotes inculpatos conserva in cultu tuo. Eeges tuere in pace; magpstratus in justitia ; aerem in temperie ; fruges in ubertate ; mundum in omnipotente providentia. Gentes bellicosas seda. Errantes converte. Populum tuum sanctifica ; virgines conserva ; conjuges custode in fide ; castos robora; infantes ad maturam aetatem perdue ; nuper initiates firma ; catechumenos erudi, ac digno initiatione redde ; nosque omnes congrega in regnum coelorum, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro :

Cum quo tibi gloria, honor, ac veneratio, et sanoto Spiritui in saeoula. Amen.
