Dear saintly Poor Clare, Saint Catherine of Bologna, so rich in love for Jesus and Mary, you were endowed with great talents by God and you left us most inspiring writings and paintings for wondrous beauty. You did all for God’s greater glory and in this you are a model for all. Make artists learn lessons from you and use their talents to the full. Amen. On each bead pray one Hail Mary and the following: Santa Caterina di Bologna, Poor Clare, Mystic and Miracle Worker of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of Mary and of Joseph, intercede for me. Concluding Prayer of the Crucifix: Oh incomparable St. Catherine, who inflamed with love for our Crucified Jesus, deserves the most favourable favours in life, and after death continue to shine with so many wonders, that your body itself, uncorrupted, for over five centuries, is a sign no doubt of glorious power that you enjoy in Heaven. You always defend me from every danger of both body and soul; I beg you to obtain for me the grace ... May it be the fruit of your protection, the fortress in the Faith, the fulfillment of Christian duties, the constant spirit of sacrifice, and above all that purity of heart to which the eternal joy in the blessed vision of God is reserved. Amen. Mons. Gilbertus Baroni (Original Prayer in Italian): O incomparabile S. Caterina, che infiammata di amore per Gesù Crocifisso ne meritaste in vita i più eletti favori, e dopo morte continuate a risplendere di tante meraviglie, che il vostro corpo medesimo, da oltre cinque secoli incorrotto, è un segno non dubbio del potere glorioso che godete in Cielo; deh! Voi difendetemi sempre da ogni pericolo dell'anima e del corpo e soprattutto vi supplico a ottenermi dal Signore la grazia...Sia per me frutto della vostra protezione la fortezza nella Fede, l'esatto adempimento dei cristiani doveri, lo spirito costante di sacrificio, e soprattutto quella purezza di cuore a cui è riserbato l'eterno gaudio nella beata visione di Dio. Pater, Ave, Gloria Imrpimatur: † Mons. Gilbertus Baroni
