A Prayer for Nantes

Sainte-Pierre et Saint-Paul de Nantes

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of France following the July 18th arson attack on historic Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Cathedral in Nantes. It seems the vile spirit of Jean-Baptiste Carrier lives, as attacks against the Eldest Daughter of the Church continue unabated. May Saints Peter and Paul, and the Holy Martyrs Donatien and Rogatien watch over you.

Prayer to Sts. Peter and Paul for the Holy Catholic Church

Defend, O Lord, thy servants, we beseech thee, from all dangers both of body and soul; and, by the intercession of the blessed and glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, of the blessed Martyrs Donatien and Rogatien, and of all thy saints, mercifully grant us the blessings of peace and safety; that all adversities and errors being removed, thy Church may freely and securely serve thee; through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
