Collect for the Feast of Saint Ursula

O God, Who hast granted to the virgins worthily consecrated to Thee,

the courage to face, with Ursula as their leader,

a wonderful fight whereby through the palm of martyrdom

they reached the glory of Heavenly contemplation,

we beseech Thee grant that we may be aided

by the prayer of those who in this day after passing through the gates of death,

Thou has made to triumph in Heaven.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who liveth and reigneth with God the Father,

in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God,

world without end.

Amen.
