Collect of St Peter’s Chair at Rome ~ Indulgenced on the Feast (See Note)

According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who, on the feast of any Saint, recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.


V. 
O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, Who hast given unto thy Blessed Apostle Peter the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and the power to bind and to loose, loose us, we beseech thee, at his mighty intercession, from all the bands of our sins.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
R. Amen.  

Nota bene ~ This Feast is
 no longer celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but according to the older Martyrologies, today is the date. It was removed by Pope John 
XXIII, under Bugnini's "no duplication of Feasts" rule since St Peter's Chair at Antioch (now simply "St Peter's Chair") is honoured on 22 February. The Collect is taken from the Office as it existed in 1939.
