Saint Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, Doctor

Leo and Attila

The Meeting between Leo the Great and Attila, by Raphael (1483–1520). From Wikipedia

Almighty God, who madest Saint Leo to be both the refuge of  the State, and also the bulwark of the Catholic Faith: Grant that the courage wherewith thou didst enable him to be stedfast in the evil day may be ours also in upholding the Christian standards which thou hast given us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶ Or this:

O God, who didst strengthen thy holy Bishop Leo to contend  earnestly for the truth of thy Son’s sacred Humanity: Mercifully grant that we may be guided by the light of his teaching to believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

¶ Or this:

Almighty, everlasting God, whose servant Leo steadfastly  confessed thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ to be Very God and Very Man: Grant that we may hold fast to this faith, and evermore magnify his holy Name; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
