As a result of this, the litanies in honor of these feast days are likely to span a period of either two or three months. This is shown below:

Even if I must lose all I possess, I believe firmly, O my God!
Even if it costs me my life, I believe firmly, O my God!
In union with the lively Faith of all the just, I believe firmly, O my God!
In union with the constant Faith of all the martyrs, I believe firmly, O my God!
In union with the most perfect Faith of the Blessed Virgin Mary, I believe firmly, O my God!
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, etc.
Let us pray:
O God, Who, in the superabundance of Thy goodness, hast called me to the true Catholic Faith, grant me the grace to persevere in the Faith constantly to the end of my life. Cast, too, a look of mercy on the heretics and unbelievers for whom Thy divine Son shed His Precious Blood; enlighten and fortify them by Thy supernatural grace, in order that they may acknowledge the One True Church in which alone men can be saved, and may courageously enter that Church, without human fear, without temporal motives, and without vain subterfuges, and that thus, by a true and active confession of Faith, they may attain everlasting salvation. Amen.
