Deus, qui beatam Margaritam reginam eximia in pauperes caritate mirabilem effecisti: da, ut ejus intercessione et exemplo, tua in cordibus nostris caritas jegiter augeanostris caritas jugiter augeatur. Per Dominum nostrum.
O God, Who didst make the blessed Queen Margaret wonderful for her surpoassing charity to the poor: grant that by her intercession and example, Thy love may ever grow in our hearts. Through our Lord.
