Collect of the Martyrs of Compiègne ~ Indulgenced on the Saints' Feast (See Note)

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.
Lord God, Thou didst call St Teresa of St Augustine and her companions to go on in the strength of the Holy Spirit from the heights of Carmel to receive a martyr's crown. May our love too be so steadfast that it will bring us to the everlasting vision of Thy glory.
Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen. 

Nota bene ~ The Martyrs of Compiègne are not celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but according to the Martyrology, today is their Feast Day. The Collect is taken from the Carmelite Propers of their Feast.
