O Holy Apostle,
You are the Rock upon which Almighty God has built His Church. Obtain for me I pray you: lively faith, firm hope, and burning love, complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, recollection in prayer, purity of heart, a right intention in all my works, diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state of life, constancy in my resolutions, resignation to the will of God and perseverance in the grace of God even unto death; that so, by means of your intercession and your glorious merits, I may be made worthy to appear before the Chief and Eternal Shepherd of Souls, Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns forever.
Amen.

St Peter’s Prayer 5
Jesus,
Your dear friend and apostle Peter is a guiding light for our College, Let Peter’s way of following you help us to love you more dearly, Peter’s willingness to follow you Jesus inspires us. Peter found it difficult at times and needed to struggle in order to be wholly focussed on you; when we find it difficult to follow you we ask for St. Peter’s reflective heart which helped him to go back to you. Guide us closer to the dream you have for us. Peter had to ask for forgiveness, give us the courage and open hearts needed to say sorry and to grieve because we have not loved you as much as we can. Jesus you appointed Peter as leader to care for your flock, we ask you to bless us and show us, like Peter how to lead others to you. We make this prayer in your name.
Amen.

Amen.
