Collect
O God, who were pleased to award the palm of martyrdom to Saint Fidelis as, burning with love for you, he propagated the faith, grant, we pray, through his intercession, that, grounded in charity, we may merit to know with him the power of the Resurrection of Christ. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Almighty God, look with favor on the gifts we offer on the feast day of Saint Fidelis. May we who celebrate the mystery of the Lord’s passion make this mystery part of our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
