Standing together in Prayer - Feast of the Twelve Apostles

Our Lord took the good news of life and gave it to His apostles and commanded them, saying: Go to the whole world, and preach My good news in all creation. They went out to the world preaching, they carried no weapon but the cross, only the cross. They raised their voices like trumpets, screaming without fear, and they gathered strayed peoples to the gospel of life. Through their intercession, O Lord, grant us the zeal of your holy house.
