Deus, qui Románæ Ecclésiæ copiósa primórdia mártyrum sánguine consecrásti, † concéde, quǽsumus, ut firma virtúte de tanti agóne certáminis solidémur, * et pia semper victória gaudeámus. Per Dóminum.
God, who consecrated the fruitful beginnings of the Roman Church with the blood of the martyrs, grant us, we pray Thou, to be strengthened by the unshakable strength of so great a struggle, and to rejoice evermore in a pious victory.
