| Santa Margherita da Cortona, ora pro nobis |
Pray Novena to St. Margaret of Cortona for nine consecutive days, February 13th to February 21st, in preparation for the Feast on February 22nd. Evviva Santa Margherita da Cortona!
O glorious St. Margaret, you embarked on a life of penance and poverty after you repented of your sins. Jesus touched your heart, and after imposing on yourself a rigorous life of fasting, Jesus talked and conversed with you, revealing to you his merciful heart that rejoices whenever a sinner returns to him.
On controlling your appetite for food, you managed to free yourself from all temptations, including those of the flesh of which you were a victim for many years. Listen then to our petitions. May you bring our petitions to Jesus. Amen
(Mention your request here…)
St. Margaret of Cortona, pray for us.
