Humble Virgin and Doctor of the Church, in thirty-three years you achieved great perfection and became the counselor of Popes.
You are aware of the temptations that mothers face today, as well as the dangers that unborn children face.
Please intercede for me so that I may avoid miscarriage and have a healthy baby who will become a true child of God.
Also, pray for all mothers, so that they will not resort to abortion but will instead help bring new lifeinto the world. Amen.
St. Catherine of Siena,
As you reflected on the Passion of Jesus, our Father rekindled the flame of holy love in your heart.
You devoted your life to the poor and the sick, as well as to the peace and unity of the Church, moved by His grace.
May we also come to know Jesus' love through your intercession, bring His compassion to all, and work for the unity of His Church.
We make this request in Jesus' name and for His sake.
Amen.
God, You made St. Catherine glow with Divine love while contemplating the Lord's Passion and serving Your Church. Please aid her so Your people, who are a part of the Christ mystery.
Grant that Your people, who are involved in the mystery of Christ, may rejoice in the revelation of His glory through her assistance.
Amen.
