Collect
We beseech thee, O Lord, let the feast of thy blessed Martyrs, who are also Bishops, Cornelius and Cyprian, support us: and may their prayer, which we entreat, obtain for us thy favour. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
