Collect of St Aphrahat the Persian, Confessor ~ Indulgenced on the Saint's 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.
Attend, O Lord, upon our supplications, which we offer to Thee on the solemnity of Blessed St Aphrahat, Thy Confessor: tht we who put no trust in our own righteousness, may be holpen by the prayers of him who was so well-pleasing unto Thee. 
Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen. 

Nota bene ~ St St Aphrahat is not celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but according to the Martyrology, today is his Feast Day. The Collects is taken from the Common of Confessors.
