5. O holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, I choose you this day and forever to be my special patrons and advocates;
thee, Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles, because thou art the Rock, upon which Almighty God hath built His

of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, attention in prayer, purity of heart, a right intention in
all my works, diligence in ful lling the duties of my state of life, 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
