The Innocents' Day

O Almighty God, who out of the mouths of babes and sucklings has ordained strength,¹

and made infants to glorify you by their deaths;²

Mortify and kill all vices in us,³

and so strengthen us by your grace,⁴

that by the innocency of our lives, and constancy of our faith even unto death,⁵

we may glorify your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.⁶
