Santa Burgundofara, Ora pro nobis
|
December 7 is the Feast of Santa Burgundofara (also Fara or Fare), Virgin and Abbess. Patroness of Cinisi, a town and commune in the Province of Palermo, Sicily, she is invoked by those suffering from eye ailments. She is also venerated on April 3.
In celebration, we're posting a prayer to St. Fara. The accompanying photo of Santa Burgundofara, courtesy of Bill Russo, was taken at Our Lady of Peace Church in New York City. Evviva Santa Burgundofara!
Prayer to St. Fara
O God, who called your handmaid blessed Fara to seek you before all else, grant that, serving you, through her example and intercession, with a pure and humble heart, we may come at last to your eternal glory. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
