At I Vespers · Antiphon Common
Come, thou Bride of Christ, * receive the crown which the Lord hath prepared for thee for ever.
Versicle at I Vespers Common
℣.In thy grace and in thy beauty.
℟.Go forth, ride prosperously, and reign.
At Lauds · Antiphon Common
The kingdom of heaven * is likened unto a merchantman seeking goodly pearls; who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Versicle at Lauds Common
℣.Full of grace are thy lips.
℟.Because God hath blessed thee for ever.
Collect Common
O God, who among other miracles of thy power hast bestowed the victory of martyrdom also upon women: mercifully grant that we who honour the birthday of blessed Apollonia of Alexandria, thy Virgin and Martyr, may through her example walk in the way that leadeth unto thee. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
