Prayer for St Hubert's Day - Indulgenced Today

According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who on the feast of any Saint recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.


Lord, you spoke to St. Hubert
and converted him to You during a stag hunt.
You changed him into a hunter of souls,
yet you continued to use his skills as a hunter
to open minds to your Gospel.
I ask that you make me into a hunter of souls
above all other hunting activities.
May I look for the opportunities
to speak of You and Your salvation.
Let the hunting camp itself be a place that uplifts the soul.
May my time alone be an opportunity to pray and listen to You.
May all the actions of the rest of my life
be a constant hunt for You,
for the opportunities you give me to evangelize,
and to target the souls most in need of Your love.

Amen.

[* Imprimi Potest, Very Rev. Father Edward Schmidt, SJ]

I would assume that this indulgence also attaches to the recitation of the Troparion and Kontakion of the Saint of the day in the Eastern Calendar which are in my Eastern Rite post at 00.06.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
