2nd December – Saint Bibiana
I believe Lord, but let me believe more firmly. I hope Lord, but let me hope more surely. I love, Lord, but let me love more warmly. I repent Lord, but let me repent more deeply - Saint Anthony Claret
O God, the giver of all good gifts, in Your servant Bibiana You joined the flower of virginity with the palm of martyrdom; be pleased, by her intercession, to join our souls by charity to You, so that all dangers being removed, we may obtain our eternal reward. Amen.
