Deus, qui beátum Petrum Cœlestínum ad summi pontificátus ápicem sublimásti, quique illum humilitáti postpónere docuísti: concéde propítius; ut ejus exémplo cuncta mundi despícere, et ad promíssa humílibus præmia perveníre felíciter mereámur. r. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen.

O God, Who raised blessed Peter Celestine to the lofty dignity of Supreme Pontiff and taught him to prefer self-abasement instead; mercifully grant that by his example we may look upon all worldly things as naught, and may be worthy to reap in joy the rewards promised to the humble. r. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
