St. Apollonia Prayer
O Glorious Apollonia,
Patron saint of dentistry
and refuge to all those suffering from diseases of the teeth,
I consecrate myself to thee,
beseeching thee to number me among thy clients.
Assist me by your intercession with God in my daily work
and intercede with Him to obtain for me a happy death.
Pray that my heart like thine
may be inflamed with the love of Jesus and Mary,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
O My God, bring me safe through temptation
and strengthen me as thou didst our own patron Apollonia,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
