Prayer for the Feast of St. Hedwig

O God, Who didst teach blessed Hedwig to renounce the

pomps of this world, that, with her whole heart, she might

follow the humble way of Thy cross: grant that, through her

merits and example, we may learn to trample under foot the

perishable delights of this world and by cleaving to Thy cross overcome whatsoever may be opposed to us. Who lives and

reigns with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.

St. Hedwig…...pray for us
