Collect of St Edmund, King & Martyr ~ Indulgenced on the Saint's 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.
O God of infinite mercy, who gloriously enabled the most blessed King Edmund to overcome the enemy by dying for Thy Name, grant, in Thy mercy, to us, Thy servants, that by his intercession we may overcome and extinguish the temptations of the old enemy.
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 ~ St Edmund is not celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but according to the Martyrology, today is his Feast Day. The Collect is taken from his Proper in those places he is celebrated.
