August 31st~ The FEAST of ST. RAYMOND NONNATUS, Confessor
O GOD, Who didst by Thy grace make Blessed Raymond, Thy Confessor, work wonders in redeeming Thy faithful from slavery among the infidels, grant, we beseech Thee, by his intercession, that, being freed from the bondage of our sins, we may with free minds always perform such things as are pleasing in Thy sight.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
Collect, August 31, St. Raymond Nonnatus
~ The Saint Joseph Daily Missal (1950)
