O God, who didst give the law to Moses on the height of Mount Sinai, and in the same place didst through thy holy Angels wondrously bestow the body of blessed Catherine, thy Virgin and Martyr: grant, we beseech thee; that by her merits and intercession we may be enabled to attain unto that mount which is Christ. Who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
