At I Vespers · Antiphon Common

This is a Martyr * who strove for his Master’s precepts, even unto death: and feared not the words of evil men, forasmuch as he was stablished on a sure foundation.

Versicle at I Vespers Common

℣.Thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, O Lord.

℟.And madest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands.

At Lauds · Benedictus Common

He that hateth his life * in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Versicle at Lauds and II Vespers Common

℣.The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree.

℟.And shall spread abroad like a cedar in Libanus.

At II Vespers · Magnificat Common

Whosoever will come after me * let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Collect

O God, who gavest grace to blessed Irenaeus thy Martyr and Bishop to overcome false doctrine by the truth of his teaching, and favourably to establish peace in thy Church: give thy people, we beseech thee, constancy in holy religion, and grant us thy peace all the days of our life. 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.
