Almighty and eternal God, illuminate the darkness of my intellect with a ray of Your Heavenly light and inflame my heart with the fire of Your Divine Love, that I may contemplate the great virtues and merits of St. Acacius and imitate his fidelity to Christ.
O God, Who fortified Your holy martyr Acacius with constancy and trustful reliance on You in death, grant us through his intercession at the hour of our death to be free from all anxiety and grant us victory in our last combat with the enemy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Valiant martyr of Christ, St. Acacius, help me through your powerful intercession to resist and gain the victory over all the enemies of my salvation, over the world and its allurements, over the desires of the flesh, and over the temptations of Satan. Assist me in my agony, that I may surrender my soul into the hands of my Redeemer in faith, hope, and charity. Amen.
