Preparatory Prayer (located at the start of Part IV).

PRAYER IN HONOR OF ST. CYRIACUS

O GOD, who didst grant to St. Cyriacus the grace of heroic charity and
trustful resignation to Thy holy will; bestow upon us, through his
intercession, the grace to walk before Thee in self-denying charity and
to know and fulfil Thy will in all things. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

INVOCATION OF ST. CYRIACUS

ST. CYRIACUS, great servant of God, loving Christ with all thy heart,
thou didst for His sake also love thy fellow-men, and didst serve them
even at the peril of thy life, for which charity God rewarded thee with
the power to overcome Satan, the arch-enemy, and to deliver the poor
obsessed from his dreadful tyranny; implore for me of God an effective,
real, and true charity. Show thy power over Satan also in me; deliver me
from his influence when he tries to tempt me. Help me to repel his
assaults and to gain the victory over him in life and in death. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer (located at the start of Part IV).

PRAYER IN HONOR OF ST. ACHATIUS

O GOD, who didst fortify Thy holy martyr Achatius with constancy and
trustful reliance on Thee in death; grant us through his intercession at
the hour of our death to be free from all anxiety and victorious in our
last combat with the enemy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

INVOCATION OF ST. ACHATIUS

VALIANT martyr of Christ, St. Achatius, who preached Christ faithfully
before kings and judges, and didst gain the victory over the enemies of
God; help me through thy powerful intercession to resist and gain the
victory over all the enemies of my salvation, over the world and its
allurements, over the concupiscence of the flesh, and over the
temptations of Satan. I implore thee particularly to assist me in my
agony, when the powers of hell rise against me to rob my soul. Then do
thou come to my aid and repel the assaults of the enemy, so that I
surrender my soul into the hands of my Redeemer in faith, hope, and
charity, and confiding in His infinite merits. Through the same Christ
our Lord. Amen.
