O Saint Margaret, who lived life’s trials with patience and trust and turned the wounds of your disabilities into an opportunity to save your soul and the souls of others, intercede for me that I may be granted the grace to recognise God’s will in every circumstance of my life and the strength to accept it.
In particular I ask for the following intention
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
May I be granted the grace I am asking for thanks to your intercession and prayer.
O God, who illumined the heart of St Margaret of Castello with Thy Divine light, and welcomed her into Thy fatherly embrace, we beseech Thee, be our light so that we may not be lost in the darkness of the world, and may reach Thee where the light shines eternally, with Christ Jesus our Lord.
O Lord, we beseech Thee to glorify the humble Saint Margaret and grant us all that we ask of Thee for Thy honour and glory and the salvation of our souls.
Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
St Margaret of Castello, pray for us!
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
