Saint Hilda, Abbess of Whitby

St Hilda memorial with ammonitesO God, the author of all virtues, by whose gift thy blessed Saint Hilda chose the heavenly vision before the fleeting glories of the world: Grant that we may learn by her example to despise the passing things of earth, and seek after the things which are eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶ Or this:

O merciful Saviour, who from the early days didst enlist and consecrate the devotion of women; and through whose grace Saint Hilda in her convent became a nursing mother to the church of the North: Prosper the seed that she sowed without and the leaven that she hid within the souls of her household, and bring still to good effect among us what she by thy mercy began; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
