SS. Apostolorum Petri et Pauli ~ Duplex I. classis

Today is the Feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. There were very few people at Mass today. I suppose people have got used to feasts being transposed to the following Sunday. I guess people think that if the bishops don't take the feasts seriously then why should they? Very sad.







The Collect for today:

Deus, qui hodiernam diem Apostolorum tuorum Petri et Pauli martyrio consecrasti: da Ecclesiae tuae, eorum in omnibus sequi praeceptum, per quos religionis sumpsit exordium.



Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Filium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum.


R. Amen.

O God, Who didst hallow this day by the Testifying of thine Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, grant unto thy Church, whose foundations Thou wast pleased to lay by their hands, the grace always in all things to remain faithful to their teaching.



Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.


R. Amen.
