Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles Solemnity At the Vigil Mass This Mass is used on the evening of June 28, either before or after First Vespers (Evening Prayer I) of the Solemnity. Peter the Apostle, and Paul the teacher of the Gentiles, these have taught us your law, O Lord. The Gloria in excelsis (Glory to God in the highest) is said. Grant, we pray, O Lord our God, that we may be sustained by the intercession of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, that, as through them you gave your Church the foundations of her heavenly office, so through them you may help her to eternal salvation. The Creed is said. We bring offerings to your altar, O Lord, as we glory in the solemn feast of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, so that the more we doubt our own merits, the more we may rejoice that we are to be saved by your loving kindness. 2115 2117 Simon, Son of John, do you love me more than these? Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you. By this heavenly Sacrament, O Lord, we pray, strengthen your faithful, whom you have enlightened with the teaching of the Apostles.
