10/16/2017 St Hedwig - German noblewoman, widow and missionary to the poor - (1174-1243)

Prayer on the feast of St Hedwig:

O God, Who did teach blessed St Hedwig to renounce the pomps and riches of this world, that, with her whole heart, she might follow the humble way of your cross: grant that, through her merits and example, we may learn to trample under foot the perishable delights of this world and by cleaving to you cross overcome whatsoever may be opposed to us. Who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end. Amen.
