Double Feast of Saint Robert Bellarmine, Cardinal, Confessor and Doctor of the Church
O God, who didst adorn blessed Robert, Thy Bishop and Doctor, with marvelous learning and virtue to expose the deceptions of error and to defend the rights of the Apostolic see, grant that, by his merits and intercession, love for the truth may increase in us and the souls of the erring may return to the unity of Thy Church. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
Deus, qui ad errórum insídias repelléndas et Apostólicæ Sedis jura propugnánda beátum Robértum, Pontificem tuum atque Doctórem,mira eruditióne et virtúte decorásti: ejus méritis et intercessióne concéde; ut nos in veritátis amóre crescámus, et errántium corda ad Ecclésiæ Tuæ rédeant unitátem. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium Tuum: Qui Tecum vivit et regnat.
