Day 1
February 10th.
-
Glorious St. Margaret, who, on beholding the bloody corpse of your lover, suddenly comprehended the vanity and wretchedness of sensual delights, and wast sincerely converted to God, cancelling your former crimes by your bitter tears: obtain for us from the great Father of Lights, a lively consciousness of our past sins and disorders, and grace to make reparation for them by the most sincere, fervent, and ever enduring compunction. Gloria.
-
Glorious St. Margaret, who, resolving to make reparation at any cost for the public scandal your life had caused, made an open confession in the Church, humbly entreating pardon of the people whom you had scandalized, declaring that you deserved every sort of punishment; obtain for us of the Father of Mercy the grace to confess to His ministers all our sins with sincerity, and to edify our neighbours as much as we have hitherto scandalized them. Gloria.
-
Glorious St. Margaret, who, by consecrating yourself to the strictest retirement, to prayer, to vigils, to fasts, and to all kinds of austerities, by weeping bitterly over the passion of Jesus Christ, obtained the assurance of pardon from His own mouth, and to be called “His little sheep and His daughter:” obtain for us, from the Father of all consolation, the grace to persevere unalterably in the good we have begun, and to increase every day in fervour in His service, that we may thus secure the pardon of our past sins, and the favours which He grants to penitents. Gloria.
-
Glorious St. Margaret, who, when tried by God in the mysterious fire of temptations, adversities, and calumnies, suffered all with heroic resignation, becoming still more faithful and fervent: obtain for us, of the Sovereign Author of all virtue, grace to endure tranquilly for His love whatever grief and suffering He may permit to befal us on earth. Gloria.
-
Glorious St. Margaret, who, in exile as in your native country, procured by your example the sincere conversion of many sinners: obtain for us, of the Supreme Giver of all good, the grace to fight faithfully under the standard of Christ, that we may enjoy with you the consolations of the just in time, and the blessedness of the saints in eternity. Gloria.
