Prayer to St. Peter the Apostle

Columban Daily Prayer
June 29, 2021

O Holy Apostle, because you are the Rock
upon which Almighty God has built His church;
obtain for me I pray you,
lively faith, firm hope and burning love;
complete detachment from myself,
contempt of the world,
patience in adversity,
humility in prosperity,
recollection in prayer,
purity of heart,
a right intention in all my works,
constancy in my resolutions,
resignation to the will of God
and perseverance in the grace of God even unto death;
that so, by means of your intercession
and your glorious merits,
I may be worthy to appear
before the chief and eternal Shepherd of souls,
Jesus Christ,
Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit
lives and reigns forever.

Amen.
