Collect
O God, who didst bestow upon thy blessed Apostle Peter the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and didst appoint unto him the high priesthood of binding and loosing: vouchsafe; that by the help of his intercession we may be delivered from the bonds of our iniquities. Who with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit livest and reignest God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
