Saint Didacus of Alcala
1113 Religious (First Order)
Entrance Antiphon [ Cf. Sir 3:18-19 ]
He humbled himself in all things and found favor with God. Great is the power of God; he is glorified by the humble.
Collect
Almighty, eternal God, in your marvelous ordering of things you single out the weak of this world to shame the strong. Grant that by imitating the humility of Saint Didacus here on earth we may be raised up to eternal glory with him in heaven. 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
God of all mercy, you transformed Saint Didacus and made him a new creature in your image. Renew us in the same way by making our gifts of peace acceptable to you. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Communion Antiphon [ Mt 11:29 ]
Take my yoke upon your shoulders and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. Your souls will find rest.
Prayer after Communion
Lord, by the power of this Sacrament and the example of Saint Didacus guide us always in your love. May the good work you have begun in us reach perfection in the day of Christ Jesus who is Lord for ever and ever.
