Ô Apolline, vierge martyr
Tu n’as pas cédé à la brutale sauvagerie de la foule païenne
Qui voulait te faire adorer les idoles
Tu as choisi le feu rédempteur
Et tu as fait don de tes douleurs terribles à Jésus.
Donne-moi la force de supporter les miennes
Et prie Dieu avec moi pour qu’elles disparaissent
Car je n’ai pas la force de ta foi
pour supporter cette misérable épreuve
Amen.
O glorious Apollonia,
patron saint of dentistry,
and refuge to all those suffering from diseases of the teeth,
I consecrate myself to you, asking you to count me among your clients.
Assist me by your intercession with Christ in my daily work
and intercede with Him to obtain for me a devout life.
Pray that my heart, like yours,
may be inflamed with the love of Jesus and Mary,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
O my God, bring me safely through temptation
and strengthen me as You did our patron Apollonia,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
