November 4 - Prayer to St. Charles Borromeo

O defender of the Catholic faith in which all the saints make their home, O great pastor of souls, shepherd of Christ's flock, who would see all enter fully into the fold only the saints know – pray for the Lord's Church this day, that it shall never turn away from the Truth which is at its heart, from the Son of God who made it, forming it in His own blood; pray our souls be set on prayer to Him, our minds on meditation on His life, that nothing may distract us from His holy presence within the walls of Mother Church and within our own hearts.
