       gladden and refresh them with the marvellous radiance
       of thy light. Thou art a spotless lamb, clothed upon with
       the snowy fleece of chastity, and thou followest the Lamb
       whithersoever he goeth, and with most ravishing melody
       dost sing thy virgin hymn. I beseech thee, O blessed N.,
       by  that  love  wherewith  Christ  doth  bestow  on  thee  the
       rewards of everlasting bliss, blot out all the stains of my
       manifold  corruptions,  and  with  thy  undefiled  virginity
       cover the foulness of my defilement, and obtain for me,
       through the favour thou hast found with God, that I may

        PRAYER TO A SAINT ON HIS FEAST-DAY

                 www.oremusapostolate.com
       O
               HOLY N. N (Name of the Saint), I praise thee,
              bless thee and glorify thee, and congratulate thee
       which are rendered to thee to-day, through the boundless
       liberality of the divine goodness. I recall to thy mind now
       the  overflowing  gladness  with  which  thou  didst  rejoice
       when thou wast presented before the face of the glory of
       God by the ministry of holy angels, to receive from him
       thine  everlasting  reward.  Remember,  O  most  blessed
       saint,  all  thy  honour  and  thy  glad  rejoicing  when  the
       hand  of  God  placed  the  crown  of  the  kingdom  on  thy
       head, and thy soul was set upon the throne of its glory.
       For  these  and  all  the  other  benefits  and  graces  which
       have  ever  been  bestowed  upon  thee  by  the  God  of
