Heavenly Father, through Blessed Emperor Karl of Austria
You have given Your Church and the people of God
an example of how we can live a spiritual life
convincingly and courageously.
Emperor Karl honored the Mother of God,
and loved to pray the rosary throughout his life.
Strengthen us by his intercession when discouragement,
faintheartedness, loneliness, bitterness and depression trouble us.
Let us follow the example of Your faithful servant,
and unselfishly serve our brothers and sisters
according to Your will.
