The Collect of
Saint Margaret of Kenmare

Oh most holy and faithful Saint Margaret, you answered the call of the Almighty to bring the blessings of peace, freedom, justice and equality to a benighted & oppressed people.

Knowing love of one's neighbor to be the Supreme Virtue as Scripture taught, you placed yourself - though born to wealth  - in the place of a humble servant of humankind's poorest.

Following the words of Our Savior, Issa, and our Prophet, Noble Drew Ali, who taught that service to the suffering and ignorant was service to God himself,  you remained ever-faithful to your vocation though fiercely opposed by
those even in your own Faith who would profit at suffering.

Grant we beseech thee that we, through your intercession, grace  and example, may be filled with the strength of spirit to do God's will until every empty belly be filled and every chain of oppression broken.

AMEN.
