Lectio brevis (Act 5, 41-42)
Ibant apóstoli gaudéntes a conspéctu concílii quóniam digni hábiti sunt pro nómine contuméliam pati; et omni die in templo et circa domos non cessábant docéntes et evangelizántes Christum, Iesum.
v. Gaudéte et exsultáte, dicit Dóminus. r. Quia nómina vestra scripta sunt in cælis.
Orémus.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui Apostolórum tuórum primítias beáti Iacóbi sánguine dedicásti, † da, quǽsumus, Ecclésiæ tuæ ipsíus confessióne firmári, et iúgiter patrocíniis confovéri. Per Dóminum.
Eternal and almighty God, who received the blood of St. James in homage, as the first fruits of Thy Apostles; deign to confirm Thy Church by its witness and keep it constantly under Thy protection.

Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.

Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
