Saint Peter Chanel, priest and martyr

O God, who for the spreading of your Church

crowned Saint Peter Chanel with martyrdom,

grant that, in these days of paschal joy,

we may so celebrate the mysteries of Christ's Death and Resurrection as to bear worthy witness to newness of life.

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.
