ALL O God of all the nations, you manifested your love by sending your only Son into the world that all might live through him. Pour your Spirit on your Church, that it may fulfill his command to preach the gospel everywhere; send forth laborers into your harvest; defend them in all dangers and temptations; give them grace to bear faithful witness to you; endue them with zeal and love, that they may turn many to righteousness; through the same your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
