ost pure  and  mighty  patron,  St.  Stanislaus,  angel  of  purity  and  seraph  of  charity, I  rejoice  on  account  of  thy  most  happy  death — a death  occasioned  by  the  ardor  of  thy  desire to contemplate  Mary  in  her  heavenly  glory  on the  feast  of  her  assumption. I give  thanks to Mary,  because  she  willed  to  accomplish thy desires;  and  I  pray  thee,  gracious  saint, by the  merit  of  thy  happy  death,  be  thou  my advocate,  my  patron  in  my  death. Intercede with Mary  to  obtain  for  me  a  calm  and peaceful death. Pray that  my  heart  like  thine may be  inflamed  with  the  Jove  of  Jesus  and Mary.

e PRAY  Thee,  O  almighty  and  eternal God! Who through  Jesus  Christ  hast revealed Thy  glory  to  all  nations,  to  preserve the works  of  Thy  mercy,  that  Thy  Church, being spread  through  the  whole  world,  may continue with  unchanging  faith  in  the  confession of  Thy  name.

We pray  Thee,  Who  alone  art  good  and holy, to  endow  with  heavenly  knowledge, sincere zeal,  and  sanctity  of  life,  our  chief bishop, N.N.,  the  vicar  of  Our  Lord  Jesus Christ, in  the  government  of  His  Church; our own  bishop,  N.N.;  all  other  bishops
