Let Us Pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, who hast adorned Saint Winefrid
with the reward of virginity; grant, we beseech thee, by her
pious intercession, that we may set aside the delights of the
world, and obtain with her the throne of everlasting glory;
through Jesus Christ thy Son, who with thee liveth and reigneth
in the unity of the Holy Ghost for ever. Amen.
Another Prayer.
Almighty and everlasting God, grant we humbly beseech thee, that
blessed St. Winefrid, by her pious intercession, may obtain for
us such spiritual and temporal benefits as are expedient to thy
holy service and our eternal salvation: through our Lord Jesus
Christ thy Son, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and
reigneth, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

A Hymn Of St. Winefrid.
As the fragrant rose in pleasing spring,
To God's own Son a spouse most dear,
A martyr rare of Christ our King,
St. Winefrid did flourish here.
Descended great of British race,
In faith was firm, in hope secure,
With holy works and soul of grace,
From worldly filth preserved pure.
Caradock this sacred maiden slew,
Because she did resist his lust;
But heaven's immediate vengeance flew,
And doomed his soul for ever curst.
Stained with spots of reeking blood,
Where Caradock's sword sever'd the head,
A healing stream immediate flow'd,
Perpetual token of the deed.
Here God supreme doth wonders work,
The blind to see, the dumb to speak;
Diseases which in bodies lurk,
Are cur'd where faith is not too weak.
O glorious Virgin Winefrid,
To us the raging sea appease;
And free us so from Satan's dread,
That he on us may never seize.
A Prayer To St. Winefrid.
O blessed Winefrid! O pure Virgin, and glorious martyr, so
especially elected, so divinely graced, and wonderfully restored
from death to life! O singular hope of all that fly unto thee
with full confidence and humility. Though unworthy, yet we thy
devoted pilgrims make our addresses to thee! O sanctuary of
piety, look upon us with patient eyes, receive our petitions,
accept our offerings, and present our supplications to the throne
of mercy, that through thy powerful intercession God will be
pleased to bless this our pilgrimage, and grant us our requests
and desires: through Jesus Christ, his Son, who with God the
Father, and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth ever one God,
world without end. Amen.
