- Remigius of Rheims

O God, who by the teaching of your faithful servant and bishop Remigius turned the nation of the Franks from vain idolatry to the worship of you, the true and living God, in the fullness of the catholic faith; Grant that we who glory in the name of Christian may show forth our faith in worthy deeds; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

13Your name, O Lord, endures for ever,
your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.
14For the Lord will vindicate his people,
and have compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
16They have mouths, but they do not speak;
they have eyes, but they do not see;
17they have ears, but they do not hear,
and there is no breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them
and all who trust them
shall become like them.
Psalm 135 New Revised Standard Version
