O humble St. Margaret,
you took the death of your lover as a sign
that God was asking for repentance from you.
You were determined to begin anew
and though you had a son to take care of,
you decided to leave behind the life of sin.
Please help us, dear saint, to detach ourselves
from loving too much our material comforts
and to give up our values and virtues
in exchange for material possessions.
Inspire us to live simply
that we may always sing God's glory.
Amen.
