Collect for 02/09/07
Post Vatican II:
Father, watch over your family and keep us safe in your care, for all our hope is in you. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Old Calendar (pre-Vatican II):
Latin:
Deus, qui beatum Cyrillum Confessorem tuum atque Pontificem divinae maternitatis beatissimae Virginis Mariae assertorem invictum effecisti: concede, ipso intercedente, ut, qui vere eam Genitricem Dei credimus, materna ejusdem protectione salvemur. Per Dominum nostrum.
English:
O God, Who didst make blessed Cyril, Thy Confessor and Bishop, the invincible champion of the divine Motherhood of the most blessed Virgin Mary: grant that by his intercession, we who believe her to be truly the Mother of God, may be saved by her motherly protection. Through our Lord.
