by his Passion and Cross

“Grant, we pray, almighty God,

may bring us heavenly aid,
just as her wonderful life
is an example of humility for all.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.”
“The wife of the Duke of Poland and a mother of seven children, St. Hedwig (1174-1243) led a life of piety and solicitude for the poor and the sick, founding with her husband several monasteries and hospitals, She retired to a Cistercian monastery.” (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)
October 16 - St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin (Optional Memorial):
Collect (Opening Prayer):
“Pour out on us, we pray, O Lord,
the spirit with which you so remarkably endowed
Saint Margaret Mary,
so that we may come to know
that love of Christ which surpasses all understanding
and be utterly filled with your fullness.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.”
“St. Margaret (1647-1690) was born in France and entered the Visitation convent at Paray-le-Monial. She had many mystical revelations concerning devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She propagated this devotion to the whole Church.” (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)
