1. By that most tender love which you always bore to Jesus Christ, and which led you, though born a princess, and educated at your father's court, and sought in marriage by the most renowned princes of Europe, to renounce all earthly delight and consecrate your virginity to God: O ask for us, glorious St. Ursula, that we may never sully the purity which is suitable to our state of life, and never deviate, either through menaces or allurements, from any good resolutions. Glory be, etc.

2. By that magnanimous resolution which you infused into your companions, of preferring their espousals with Jesus Christ to a union with the most distinguished personages in the world; by the joy which you felt when the ship in which you were sailing was forced to take shelter in a barbarous land, preferring to fall into the hands of barbarians than into the hands of those who were waiting for you and your companions to make you their spouses; intercede for us, O glorious St. Ursula, that we may recognize the hand of God in all the evils which happen to us on earth, and use all our powers to assist our neighbors in the way of salvation. Glory be, etc.

3. By that admirable courage with which you and your companions united in sacrificing your blood and your lives sooner than fail in the fidelity you had vowed to Jesus, your Spouse; and by the infinite blessings which have flowed from the various Orders, instituted under your protection and your name, to instruct youth in the most solid piety: intercede for us all, O most glorious St. Ursula, that we may always be ready to suffer any torments rather than violate the dictates of our consciences, and so to live as always to merit your particular patronage on earth and a share of your glories in Heaven. Glory be, etc.
