Saint Beatrice of Silva
0817 Virgin (Second Order)
Entrance Antiphon [ Is 61:10 ]
I exult for joy in the Lord, my soul rejoices in my God; for he has clothed me in the garment of salvation and robed me in the cloak of justice, like a bride adorned with her jewels.
Collect
God our Father, you adorned Saint Beatrice with singular devotion to the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Through her prayers and example may we live in purity of heart, ever intent on heavenly things, and thus deserve to share in eternal glory. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Prayer over the Offerings
Lord, we see the wonder of your love in the life of the virgin Beatrice and in her witness to Christ. Accept our gifts of praise and make our offering pleasing to you. Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon [ Cf. Mt 25:6 ]
The bridegroom is here; let us go out to meet Christ the Lord.
Prayer after Communion
Lord God, may this Eucharist renew our courage and strength. May we remain close to you, like Saint Beatrice, by accepting in our lives a share in the sufferings of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you for ever and ever.
