09 DECEMBER SAN PIETRO FOURIER. Today's prayer

Most glorious St. Peter, lily of purity,

exemplar of Christian perfection,

perfect model of priestly zeal,

for that glory which, in consideration of your merits,

it was given to you in Heaven,

turn a benign glance over us,

and come to our aid at the throne of the Most High.

Living on earth, you had as your characteristic

the maxim that often came out of your lips:

"Do no harm to anyone, benefit everyone"

and of this armed you spent your whole life

in helping the poor, advising the doubtful,

to console the afflicted, to reduce the misguided to the way of virtue, bringing back to Jesus Christ

souls redeemed with its precious blood.

Now that you are so powerful in Heaven,

continue your work to benefit everyone;

and be for us a vigilant protector of steel,

through your intercession, free yourself from temporal evils

and corroborated in faith and charity,

we overcome the pitfalls of the enemies of our health,

and we can one day praise you

bless the Lord for all eternity in Paradise.

So be it.
