Almighty and everlasting God, who dost enkindle the flame of thy love in the hearts of thy saints: Grant to our minds the same faith and power of love: that , as we rejoice in their triumphs, we may profit by their examples; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶ Or this:

O God, who didst endue blessed Margaret thy Virgin with grace to witness a good confession and to suffer gladly for thy name: Grant us, we beseech thee, so to follow her stedfastness that we may attain to the glorious fellowship of thy Saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
