O ETERNAL Shepherd, do Thou look favorably upon Thy flock, which we beseech Thee to guard and keep forevermore through the blessed Zephyrinus, Thy Martyr and Supreme Pontiff, whom Thou didst choose to be the chief shepherd of the whole church.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
