O glorious St. Catherine, who, possessing every gift of nature and of grace, and born to high station and great fortune in the world, took no pleasure in any thing but in the perfect accomplishment of the most holy will of God, and in making confession of your faith before judges and tyrants: obtain for us, we pray, the grace to value only the rules of faith, that is, the love of Jesus Christ, and His grace, and to advance continually in the path of holiness and perfection. Gloria.
-
O glorious St. Catherine, who, interiorly enlightened by the Holy Spirit, confounded and converted those philosophers who presumed to oppose your holy faith: obtain, we pray, for us the grace never to be perverted by any evil discourses, nor any corrupt manners, but by the wisdom of our words, and the edification of our lives to convert those who are walking in error and sin. Gloria.

O glorious St. Catherine, who, having crowned your most holy life by a brilliant martyrdom, wast especially honoured by the angels, who transferred your body, and buried it on Mount Sinai, in order that the impious people should not profane your relics: obtain for us, we pray, the grace to be at all times ready to shed our blood to confirm the faith of Jesus Christ, and that, after having by the death of the just terminated our earthly career, our souls may be carried by angels to the mysterious mountain of eternal light. Gloria.
