St. Peter Canisius

O God, who for the defense of the Catholic faith made the Priest Saint Peter Canisius

strong in virtue and in learning,

grant, through his intercession,

that those who seek the truth

may joyfully find you, their God,

and that your faithful people

may persevere in confessing you.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.
