Syro-Malabar Holy Mass in English 343
Apostles and friends of the / only begotten Son of God
pray for the peace in the world.

CEL: Let the people of God proclaim: / Amen, Amen.
Let us celebrate the memory of / our Father St. Thomas,
All the just who have triumphed and
the martyrs who have been crowned in glory.

ALL: The mighty Lord is with us, / Our King is with us,

In the hope that through / Your glorious resurrection
You will raise them again in glory.

ALL: Open your hearts before Him.
By prayer, fasting, and penance,
Let us find favor with the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit.
