Martyrdom of the Seven Maccabees

Martyrdom of the Seven Maccabees, by Antonio Ciseri (1821–1891). From Wikpedia.

Almighty God, who didst call thy faithful servants James  Hannington and his companions to be witnesses and martyrs in the land of Africa, and by their labours and suffering didst raise up a people for thine own possession: Shed forth, we beseech thee, thy Holy Spirit upon thy Church in all lands, that by the sacrifice and service of many, thy holy Name may be glorified and thy blessed kingdom enlarged; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
