Prayer {from the Proper of Saints}
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray
O God, Who, to spread abroad the greater glory of Thy name through St. Ignatius, strengthened the Church militant with new power; grant that we, who are struggling on earth, may, by his help and after his example, be found worthy to be crowned with him in heaven.
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.
