Saint Birinus

We beseech thee, O Lord, to pour thy grace on all who go to other lands, publishing the Word of salvation: That, following the patient labours of Saint Birinus, who brought to us the Gospel from beyond the sea, they may gather many believers into the fold of thy holy Church; through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
