God of power and of love, you made the humble Curé of Ars powerful in holiness, in prayer, and in self—forgetful service of your people. Through his intercession and example, fill all your people with that love which wins devoted followers for your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen
