To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, said Jesus unto his disciples.

O God, who seest that we trust not in any thing that we do; mercifully grant, that by the protection of the Doctor of the Gentiles, we may be defended against all adversities. Through, &c.
