O God,
Who gave St. Catherine, graced with the special privilege of virginity,
patience to overcome the assault of evil spirits
and to stand unshaken in the love of your Name.

and overcoming the wiles of all enemies,

O Saint Catherine of Siena,
God our Father enkindled the flame of holy love in your heart
as you meditated on the Passion of Jesus His Son.
Moved by His grace, you devoted your life to the poor and the sick,
as well as to the peace and unity of the Church.
Through your intercession, may we also come to know the love of Jesus,
bring His compassion to all, and work for the unity of His Church.
We ask this in Jesus’ Name and for His sake.
God, You caused St. Catherine to shine with Divine love
in the contemplation of the Lord’s Passion
and in the service of Your Church.
By her help, grant that Your people,
associated in the mystery of Christ,
may ever exult in the revelation of His glory.
Amen.

O omnipotent Father,
God of truth, God of love,
permit me to enter into the cell of self-knowledge.
I admit that of myself I am nothing,
but that all being and goodness in me comes solely from You.
Show me my faults, that I may detest my malice,
and thus I shall flee from self-love
and find myself clothed again in the nuptial robe of divine charity,
which I must have in order to be admitted to the nuptials of life eternal.
Amen.

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, honor 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 harbor of your Love,
in this dark night of your times and men’s souls.
Grant also to each of us our special petition.
Amen.
