St
Catherine of Siena Doctor of The Church-Mystic and Stigmatist
Heavenly
Father, your glory is in your saints. We praise your glory in the
life of the admirable St. Catherine of Siena, virgin and doctor of
the Church. Her whole life was a noble sacrifice inspired by an
ardent love of Jesus, your unblemished Lamb. In troubled times she
strenuously upheld the rights of His beloved spouse, The Church.
Father, honour her merits and hear her prayers for each of us, and
for our whole parish family dedicated to her. Help us to pass
unscathed through the corruption of this world, and to remain
unshakably faithful to the church in word, deed, and example. Help us
always to see in the Vicar of Christ an anchor in the storms of life,
and a beacon of light to the harbour of your Love, in this dark night
of your times and men's souls. Grant also to each of us our special
petition . . . (pause to pray for your own intentions). We ask this
through Jesus, your Son, in the bond of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
St.
Catherine of Siena, Pray for us.
Peace
of Christ to ALL
