Ss. Pontian, pope, and Hippolytus, priest, martyrs
May the precious long-suffering of the just, O Lord, we pray,
bring us a great increase of love for you and always prompt in our hearts
constancy in the holy faith.
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.
