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 Thy Immaculate Mother; grant, we bessech Thee, that after the examples of tender devotion shown us by the same blessed Catherine, we may so honour Thy holy Mother as to obtain the joys of eternal life.

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