O St. Athanasius, holy doctor of the Church,
you armed the Mystical Body of Christ
with divine dogmas of the Catholic Church;
You kept the faith O glorious St. Athanasius,
and justly won a crown by your labors.
In your flesh, O blessed Patriarch,
you filled up the sufferings of Christ,
suffering many persecutions,
even from among those counted within the Church.
St. Athanasius, pray for us.
