Prayer to Saint Catherine of Alexandria

For Purity, Love, and Faith

By , About.com Guide

In this Prayer to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, we ask the great martyr to intercede for us so that we may grow in purity, love, and faith. Saint Catherine, the patron saint of science, students, and teachers, was martyred in the fourth century for her philosophical defense of the Christian Faith. We ask her to help us be as loyal to Christ as she was—even if that means martyrdom.

A Prayer to Saint Catherine of Alexandria

Glorious Saint Catherine, virgin and martyr, help me to imitate your love of purity. Give me strength and courage in fighting off the temptations of the world and evil desires.

Help me to love God with my whole heart and serve Him faithfully.

O Saint Catherine, through your glorious martyrdom for the love of Christ, help me to be loyal to my faith and my God as long as I live.
