Toward springs of water...

    The Lamb who is at the center of the throne
will lead them to the
springs of the waters of life. - Rev 7:17
 
 
Prayer After Communion (Today's Liturgy)
O God, who bestowed on 
blessed Catherine of Alexandria a crown 
among the Saints for her twofold triumph 
of virginity and martyrdom, grant, we pray, 
through the power of this Sacrament,
that, bravely overcoming evil,
we may attain the glory of heaven.
Through Christ our Lord.
