PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who know how courageously your holy martyrs Carpistus and companions confessed the faith, may experience their goodness as they intercede for us with you. 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.
