COLLECT
O GOD, Who in assuming the weakness of flesh willed to be pierced by the Nails and wounded by the Lance for the salvation of the world, grant we beseech Thee, that as we venerate the same Nails and Lance here on earth, so may we rejoice in the triumphant glory of Thy victory in Heaven. Who livest and reignest with God the Father Almighty in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
