O Shepherd of the Church
who led her through
a difficult time,
seeing to her reform
in faith and morals,
in teaching and prayer,
that the foundation once established
by the Lord Jesus Christ
might be confirmed
and strengthened,
kept from decay –
pray this day, too,
MotherChurch will be blessed
by the nourishing food
of the Spirit,
that she might be fed
at the Lord’s table
and all might be encouraged to enter
the gates of Heaven
she guards and opens
to all souls in communion
with the Savior and His way…
May Peter lead us unto His Day.
