Antiphon for Magnificat: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly: so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth.
Collect: We beseech Thee O Lord: that Thou wouldst graciously hear our prayers, and stretch forth the right hand of Thy majesty to be our defence against all adversities; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost: ever one God, world without end. Amen.
