    Orémus.
    Concede, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut, sicut Apostolórum tuórum Simónis et Judæ gloriósa natalícia prævenimus; sic ad tua benefícia promerenda, majestátem tuam pro nobis ipsi præveniant.
    Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
    ℟. Amen.

    Let us pray.
    Almighty God, grant, we beseech thee, that as we are preventing thine Apostles Simon and Jude, their glorious birth-day, so the same may prevent thy Majesty to win thy good things for us.
    Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
    ℟. Amen.
