Oremus.

Da nobis, quæsumus, omnípotens Deus, vitiórum nostrórum flammas exstínguere : qui beáto Lauréntio tribuísti tormentórum suórum incéndia superáre. Per Dóminum.

Let us pray.

O Almighty God, who didst give unto blessed Lawrence power to be more than conqueror in his fiery torment : grant unto us, we beseech thee, the power to quench the flames of our sinful lusts. Through.
