God, source of all holiness, you have enriched your
Church with the gifts of many saints whose lives were touched by disability. By
following the example of our brothers and sisters, may we come to realize that
in accepting our vulnerabilities we are drawn closer to You through our Lord
Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever.
Amen
