February 15
The commemoration of blessed Onesimus, whom Saint Paul the Apostle received as a fugitive slave and begot in his chains as a son in the faith of Christ, as Paul himself wrote to Onesimus’ master, Philemon.
***
May Holy Mary and all the saints intercede to the Lord for us, that we may merit to be helped and saved by him who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
V. Precious in the sight of the Lord
R. Is the death of his holy ones.
V. May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. And may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in pace.
R. Amen
