R. And flourish for ever in the sight of the Lord.

PRAYER

Give ear, O Lord, to our prayers, and by the intercession of blessed Augustine, thy confessor and bishop, favorably bestow the effects of thy accustomed mercy on us, to whom thou hast given reason to trust in thy goodness, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
