O most praiseworthy disciples, as eyewitnesses and testifiers of the Incarnate Word, you are blessed, for as brilliant lightning you appear upon the world. As spiritual mountains you carve delights for us. As the ever-flowing, parted rivers of paradise you give to the Church of the Gentiles the divine waters to drink.
