3Prayer. Sanctorum. May the blessed confession of thy saints, Nazarius, Celsus, Victor, and Innocent, strengthen us, O Lord, and graciously implore for us a help to our weakness. Through our Lord, &c.

4Lesson. Wisdom x. 17—20. God rendered to the just the wages of their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful way; and he was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night; and he brought them through the Red Sea, and carried them over through a great water. But their enemies he drowned in the sea, and from the depth of hell he brought them out. Therefore the just took the spoils of the wicked. And they sung to thy holy name, O Lord, and they praised with one accord thy victorious hand, O Lord our God.

5Secret. Grant us, O Almighty God, that by these offerings which we present in honour of thy saints, Nazarius, Celsus, Victor, and Innocent, we may appease thee by what we offer, and be enlivened by thy acceptance of our offerings. Through our Lord, &c.

6Postcom. Sanctorum. Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord, appeased by the intercession of thy saints, Nazarius, Celsus, Victor, and Innocent; that what we celebrate in time, we may receive in eternal salvation. Through our Lord, &c.
