Ss. Marcellinus and Peter
2 Cor. 6:4-10. John 17:11-19

Adonai, Yahweh Sabaoth and Elohim : praise , glory and ineffable praise ! I, the Father's Son beloved and loving, His Word Incarnate in His most glorious world, praise, magnify and bless His Holy Name, rejoicing in its grace and majesty and glory. And I, O Holy Father, by reason of My Sonship and your great unfolding purpose, am one with You and with Our loving Holy Spirit. As it has been your will from the beginning to bring into the fullness of eternal life the sons and daughters of Our love whom through My death are redeemed as they respond in love and faithfulness to Your Most Holy Word, so I consecrate them in truth. And Our loving Holy Spirit is the reward of faithfulness to Your most holy word and the power for consecration and self-giving to Your will and loving purpose. Further them, O Holy Father, and protect them from the evil one.

And may they know, as they pursue their way in the way of Your appointing, that I am with them always, even till the end of time when I shall joyfully present them to Your Most glorious loving Presence. There they will rejoice for ever with angels and archangels and the whole company of the redeemed and sanctified in Us.
