Glorious St Brendan, who during thy mortal course here on earth placed all thy glory in the annihilation of thyself before Him for whose glory and at whose call you forsook all things, thy country as well as thy people and thy father’s house, look down now from Heaven with our Lord, Whom thou didst ardently love whilst in this land of danger and sorrow, and forget not the charge thou didst receive when I, thine unworthy client, was committed to thy care, and received thee as patron, protector and advocate with Him, Who is so much outraged by my infidelity and imperfection.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

St Brendan, pray for us!

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
