Blessed Raymond Lull
0630 Martyr (Third Order)
Entrance Antiphon
This holy man fought to the death for the law of his God, never cowed by the threats of the wicked; his house was built on solid rock.
Collect
Almighty God, you adorned Blessed Raymond the martyr with zeal for spreading the faith. Through his prayers may we firmly keep until death the faith we have received by your grace. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Prayer over the Offerings
Lord, receive the gifts dedicated to your name. Through the intercession of Blessed Raymond may the grace which strengthened him for the conflict also confirm us in professing the faith. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon [ Cf. Jn 15:5 ]
I am the vine, you are the branches, says the Lord; he who lives in me and I in him will bear much fruit.
Prayer after Communion
Almighty God, we have been refreshed by the sweetness of the heavenly banquet. By the power of this Sacrament may your faithful always be strengthened in faith and in charity. Grant this through Christ our Lord.
