O great Saint, who from the very dawn of life turned all the powers of
thy soul and the noble affections of thy pure and loving heart toward
thy Creator; O angel clothed in mortal flesh, who appeared in this
valley of tears as a bright lily of purity to shed around thee the good
odor of Christ, to show to all the beauty of virtue, and to point out
to thousands the way to Heaven-----O pray for us, that
truly despising all earthly objects, we may live for God alone. R. Amen.
