To Avoid a Miscarriage
Humble Virgin and Doctor of the Church, in thirty-three
years you achieved great perfection and became the counselor
of Popes.
You know the temptations of mothers today as well as the
dangers that await unborn infants. Intercede for me that
I may avoid miscarriage and bring forth a healthy baby who
will become a true child of God. Also pray for all mothers,
that they may not resort to abortion but help bring a new
life into the world. Amen.
O Saint Catherine of Siena, God our Father enkindled the
flame of holy love in your heart as you meditated on the
Passion of Jesus His Son. Moved by His grace, you devoted
your life to the poor and the sick, as well as to the peace
and unity of the Church. Through your intercession, may
we also come to know the love of Jesus, bring His compassion
to all, and work for the unity of His Church. We ask this
in Jesus' Name and for His sake. Amen.
God, You caused St. Catherine to shine with Divine love
in the contemplation of the Lord's Passion and in the service
of Your Church. By her help, grant that Your people, associated
in the mystery of Christ, may ever exult in the revelation
of His glory. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Catherine of Siena for
Firefighters
Dominican Tertiary and Doctor of the Church, you were full
of wisdom, the special gift of God, and you knew how to
guide even Pontiffs, as well as how to extinguish fiery
passions and restore true peace among people. How inspiring
your spiritual writings and how heroic your abstemious life!
Fires are today unfortunately all too common - including
those caused by criminals. Please protect and encourage
firefighters in their heroic efforts to save lives. Amen.

love in contemplating the Lord's passion and in serving
your Church. With the help of her prayers may your people,
united in the mystery of Christ, rejoice forever in the
revelation of his glory, who lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Novena Prayer in Honor of St. Catherine
of Siena
Heavenly Father, your glory is in your saints. We praise
your glory in the life of the admirable St. Catherine of
Siena, virgin and doctor of the Church. Her whole life was
a noble sacrifice inspired by an ardent love of Jesus, your
unblemished Lamb. In troubled times she strenuously upheld
the rights of His beloved spouse, The Church. Father, honour
her merits and hear her prayers for each of us, and for
our whole parish family dedicated to her. Help us to pass
unscathed through the corruption of this world, and to remain
unshakably faithful to the church in word, deed, and example.
Help us always to see in the Vicar of Christ an anchor in
the storms of life, and a beacon of light to the harbour
of your Love, in this dark night of your times and men's
souls. Grant also to each of us our special petition . .
. (pause to pray for your own intentions). We ask this through
Jesus, your Son, in the bond of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
St. Catherine of Siena, Pray for us.

A Prayer of Saint Catherine of Siena
I see that you have endowed your vicar
by nature
with a fearless heart;
so I humbly, imploringly beg you
to pour the light beyond nature
into the eye of his understanding.
For unless this light,
acquired through pure affection for virtue,
is joined with it,
a heart such as his tends to be proud.
Today again let every selfish love be cut away
from those enemies of yours
and from the vicar
and from us all,
so that we may be able to forgive those enemies
when you bend their hardness.
For them, that they may humble themselves
and obey this lord of ours,
I offer you my life
from this moment
and for whenever you wish me to lay it down
for your glory. [pp.217-18]
