Saint Chad of Lichfield


Almighty and everlasting God, who on this day dost gladden us with the feast of blessed Chad thy Confessor and Bishop: we humbly beseech thy mercy; that we which here do honour him with our devout observance, may by his intercession obatin thy healing unto life eternal: through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

Saint Chad, pray for us!

Amen
