Prayer to St. Catherine

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, some even caused by criminal

persons. Please protect and encourage firefighters in their heroic efforts

to save lives. Amen.
