List of Prayers
to the Saints
In your virginal countenance we read the strength of your love and the constancy of your fidelity to your Divine Spouse. As His bride, espoused in blood, you have traced in yourself His own image.
While we admire your heroism, we are even more desirous of imitating your strength of faith and your great purity in conduct. (mention your intention).
In
you we find a safe refuge, and we trust that we will be protected from dangerous
occasions and from sin, so as to walk the highways of life with that serenity
and deep joy which is the heritage of those who are pure of heart. Amen
