Almighty and merciful God, Who endowed St. Jane Frances, burning with love of You, with a wondrous strength of spirit through all the paths of life in the way of perfection, and willed through her to ennoble Your Church by a new religious family; grant by her merits and prayers, that we who are aware of our weakness, may trust firmly in Your power and, by the assistance of divine grace, overcome all obstacles in our way.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

Commemoration Seventh day of the Octave
O Lord, we beseech thee, forgive the transgressions of thy servants, and, forasmuch as by our own deeds we cannot please thee, may we find safety through the prayers of the Mother of thy Son and our Lord.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
℟. Amen

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 13:44
At that time Jesus spake unto His disciples this parable The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field. And so on.

Homily by Pope St Gregory the Great
11th on the Gospels
Dearly beloved brethren, the kingdom of heaven is likened unto the things of earth, to the end that by the mean of things which we know, our mind may rise to the contemplation of the things which we know not by the example of things which are seen, may fix her gaze on things which are not seen by the touch of things which she useth, may be warmed towards the things which she useth not; by things which she knoweth and loveth, to love also the things which she knoweth not. For, behold, “the kingdom of heaven is likened unto treasure hid in a field, the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and, for joy thereof, goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field.”

Post Communion
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Pour upon us, O Lord, the spirit of Your love, that You Who have filled us with the strength of heavenly bread, may through the intercession of blessed Jane Frances, make us look upon the things of the world as nought and with pure minds seek You, the only God.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.

Let us pray.

Mensæ coeléstis partícipes effécti, implorámus cleméntiam tuam, Dómine, Deus noster: ut, qui Assumptiónem Dei Genetrícis cólimus, a cunctis malis imminéntibus, ejus intercessióne, liberémur.
Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.
