Let us fast and pray with her; for are not we too pilgrims and strangers in this world, where all things are fleeting and hurry on to death? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year by year, as the great solemnity comes round, it has gathered from among our former companions new saints, who bless our tears and smile upon our songs of hope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year by year the appointed time draws nearer, when we ourselves, seated at the heavenly banquet, shall receive the homage of those who succeed us, and hold out a helping hand to draw them after us to the home of everlasting happiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us learn, from this very hour, to emancipate our souls; let us keep our hearts free, in the midst of the vain solicitudes and false pleasures of a strange land: the exile has no care but his banishment, no joy but that which gives him a foretaste of his fatherland.<\/p>\n\n\n

With these thoughts in mind, let us pray with the Church the [former] Collect of the vigil:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

O<\/span> Lord our God, <\/em>multiply thy grace upon us;
and lift us in our holy profession to follow the joy of thee,
whose glorious solemnity we anticipate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our Lord, Jesus Christ Thy Son,
Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, world without end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
