A Prayer to Saint Catherine of Siena:
O most admirable St. Catherine, thou who didst merit to make of thy
whole life the noblest holocaust, constantly inspiring thyself to a
most ardent love for Jesus, the Lamb without blemish, and for His
beloved spouse the Church, whose rights thou didst strenuously affirm
and support in troubled times, obtain, likewise, for us the grace not
only to pass unscathed through the corruption of this world, but also to
remain unshakably faithful to the Church, in word, in deed, in example,
to see always, and to make others see, in the Vicar of Christ our
anchor, as it were, in the storms of life, the beacon light that points
the way to the harbor of safety in the dark night of our times and of
men's souls. Amen.
