O holy St. Peter our patron,
you were entrusted by the Master Lord Jesus
the keys of heaven and responsibility
to guide His flock on earth.
With confidence we place ourselves
under your protection.
Guide us today and every day in all our thoughts,
words and deeds, both at home and school,
at work or play.
You defender of truth and virtue,
guard us against all error and corruption
and assist us at times of adversity.
Loving and faithful guardian of the flock,
mirror of prudence and courage,
model of simplicity and hard work,
inspire us by your example
so that we may be your worthy followers,
true Peterites, always doing
what is pleasing to our heavenly Father.
Amen.
