From the
Preface for St. Botulf's feast day in Old English liturgical books:
"... Out of love for Him [Jesus Christ], blessed Botulf, forsaking all
things paltry, became worthy of the heavenly kingdom. For his
intercession we beseech Thee, O Lord, with very most humble voices,
that after the ending of the universe Thou wouldst command that we be
united with the heavenly multitudes..." from Old Sarum
Rite Missal, (c) 1998 St. Hilarion Press
