Collect of St Hugh of Lincoln, Bishop & Confessor ~ 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 holy God, Thou didst endow Thy servant and bishop Hugh with wise and cheerful boldness, and taught him to commend the discipline of holy life to kings and princes: Grant that we also, rejoicing in the Gospel of Thy mercy, and fearing nothing but the loss of Thee, may be bold to speak the truth in love
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 
Hugh 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 England.
