PRAYER:
O God, who granted to your people blessed Gaudus as a minister of salvation, grant, we beseech you, that we who cherished him on earth as a teacher of life may be found worthy to have him as an intercessor in heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
