O God, who wert pleased to make Thy blessed Apostles Simon and Jude a means of bringing us to the knowledge of Thy Name: grant that, by endeavouring to advance in all good, we may both worthily celebrate their everlasting glory and, by so celebrating it, increase our advance…

O God, who in blessed Jerome Thy Confessor wast pleased to provide for Thy Church a most great teacher for the expounding of Holy Writ: grant, we beseech Thee, that, his merits interceding, that which he both by word and work did teach, we, by Thy help, may be able to put into practice…

Lead, Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on…

God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connexion between persons…
