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.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who hast deigned to strengthen the Virgin, Blessed Catherine, by a wonderful vision of Thine Immaculate Mother; grant, we beseech Thee, that after the examples of tender devotion shown us by the same Blessed Catherine, we may so honour Thine Holy Mother as to obtain the joys of eternal life.

Who liveth and reigneth with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen
Nota bene - St Catherine is not celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but according to the Roman Martyrology, today is her Feast Day. The Collect is taken from her Office where it is celebrated.

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.
