wonders that he has accomplished in the Saints, in
whom his glory shines forth. Let us allow ourselves
to be inspired by their example; let us be guided by
their teaching; so that like them, our entire life may
become a canticle of praise to the glory of the Most

obtain this grace for us and may these four new
“Older Brothers and Sister” whom we joyfully venerate
today, intercede for us. Amen.
