Summary:
In each of these sermons the following phrase (with only minor modifications) appears near the end of the sermon:
Quarto igitur et sexta feria ieiunimus, sabbato autem apud beatissimum/beatum Petrum apostolum uigilias celebremus.
‘... on Wednesday and Friday let us fast, and on Saturday let us keep vigil with the most blessed/blessed Apostle Peter.’
In each case, Leo continues to tell the congregation of the benefits Peter’s prayers and intercession will bring to the faithful.
This statement can be found at the end of sermons concerning days of fast in December (Sermons 12, 16, 17, 18, 19); days of fast in Lent (42); Pentecost (75, 76, 81); and days of fast in September (88, 89, 90, 92).
