OCTOBER 20 SANTA MARIA BERTILLA BOSCARDIN. Prayer

 

O most humble Santa Maria Bertilla,

chaste flower grown in the shadows of Calvary,

that you exhale the perfume of your virtues before God alone,

to comfort the suffering, we invoke you.

Oh, obtain from the Lord your humility and charity for which you liked him so much

and that flame of pure love that consumed you all.

Teach us to reap fruits of peace from perfect dedication to our duties,

to deserve, through your intercession, the grace we need

and the eternal reward in Heaven.
