聖吳蘇拉及其同伴
聖女吳蘇拉相傳是一位英國公主，生於公元四世紀左右。聖女及同伴多人在德國科倫一帶，由於堅決保持天主教的信仰和她們的貞操，被匈奴人屠殺；當時她只有三十三歲。中古時代科倫城建有聖堂一座，以紀念她們的英勇精神。
祈禱
天主，我們的救援。求你俯聽我們的祈禱，使我們因聖吳蘇拉及其同伴的代禱和轉求，能以純潔的身心事奉你。因你的聖子，我們的主耶穌基督，他和你及聖神，是唯一天主，永生永王。亞孟。
Saint Ursula and her Maidens
According to legend Ursula was a 4th century princess from Britain who was martyred by the Huns in Cologne, Germany, about the year 450. Ursula was raised up by God to preserve the maidens and widows of her time from seduction and dishonor, and to enroll them in the celestial army of crowned martyrs. She accomplished her mission with extraordinary energy and constancy.
She was, at the time of her martyrdom, thirty-three years old.
The Roman Senator Clematius built the church of St. Ursula in Cologne in memory of the martyrs and their leader, which would later be granted Basilica status by the Pope in 1920.
Prayer
Loving God,
Guide us, in the spirit of St. Ursula,
to have wisdom, courage, strength, compassion
and above all —
to have love for all of your creation.
May we stand insieme in unity
to do the work necessary that will
one day bring about Your Kingdom.
We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
