Lord God, who bestowed on the Bishop Saint Richard
of Chichester
a love of learning, a zeal for souls and a devotion to the poor,
in your kindness grant to us, we pray,
the assistance of his intercession
that we may be led to deeper knowledge
and love of your Only Begotten Son
so that we may follow him more closely.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

O God, who decreed that Saint Barnabas,
a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit,
should be set apart to convert the nations,
grant that the Gospel of Christ,
which he strenuously preached,
may be faithfully proclaimed by word and by deed.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

Almighty God,
who filled the heart of your Abbot Saint Columba
with the joy of the Holy Spirit
and with deep love for those in his care,
grant, by his intercession,
that your pilgrim people may follow him,
strong in faith, sustained by hope
and one in the love that binds us to you.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament
have left us a memorial of your Passion,
grant us, we pray,
so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood
that we may always experience in ourselves
the fruits of your redemption.
Who live and reign with God the Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

O God, who raised up the holy Bishop
and Martyr Saint Boniface
from the English nation
to enlighten many peoples with the Gospel of Christ,
grant, we pray,
that we may firmly hold and confidently profess in action
the faith he taught with his lips and sealed with his blood.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

O God, who by the mystery of today’s great feast
sanctify your whole Church in every people and nation,
pour out, we pray, the gifts of the Holy Spirit
across the face of the earth
and, with the divine grace that was at work
when the Gospel was first proclaimed,
fill now once more the hearts of believers.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
