O zealous and loving apostles,
to the ends of the earth
you brought the Word of the Lord;
calling sinners to repentance,
seeking healing for all souls,
you carried the light of Christ
to all the world –
pray we shall match your zeal
for the Gospel;
pray we serve to impart
the mercy of God
unto life everlasting
for all children of the Lord.
May the power and glory
upon you
in the name of Jesus Christ
build up His Temple
in forgiveness and love
this day
that soon all will be one
with Him and with you in Heaven.
