Prayer to Saint Odilia
O God, Who in Your Kindness
Did give us St. Odilia
Virgin and Martyr, as the
Protectress of the Order
Of
the Holy Cross and
The Patroness of the eyes
And afflicted, grant us
We humbly beseech You
To be protected, through her
Intercession, from
the darkness
Of ignorance and sin and to
Be cured from the blindness
of the eyes and other bodily
Infirmities. Through Him,
Who
is the Light and Life
Of the World, Jesus Christ,
Your Son, Our Lord
Amen.
