Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in union with the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end.

Amen.

O God, who didst inflame the hearts of Thy sainted martyrs with an admirable zeal for the salvation of souls, grant us, we beseech Thee, what we now implore: (Here privately form your petitions.) so that the favors obtained through their intercession may make manifest before men and power and glory of Thy name.

Amen.
