O God, who chose the Bishop Saint Patrick
 to preach your glory to the peoples of Ireland,
grant, through his merits and intercession, that those who glory in the name of Christ 
may never cease to proclaim your wondrous deeds to all. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
 who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
