Collect: St. Augustine Zhao Rong and his Companions, Martyrs


Deus, qui per sanctorum martyrum Augustini et sociorum confessionem Ecclesiam tuam mirabili dispensatione roborasti, concede, ut populus tuus, missioni sibi creditae fidelis, et incrementa libertatis accipiat et veritatem coram mundo testificetur.

O God, who through the confession of the holy martyrs, Augustine and his companions, wondrously strengthened the vocation of the Church, grant that your people, faithful to their mission, may receive an increase of liberty and give witness to the truth before the world.

The prayer refers to the main benefits of the martyrs: 1) freedom in general to act without fear; 2) and the ability to proclaim the truth to the world.
