Prayer for S. Rinaldo 

O S. Rinaldo Protector of Fallascoso, turn your compassionate gaze not only on us but also on all those who turn to you. You who chose a life of repentance and prayer dwelling in a dark cavern in order to achieve a heavenly life, may your example encourage us to love poverty, prayer and sacrifice. Whilst still today after so many centuries your precious relics speak to us of a life of bliss on earth and in heaven, O Holy Miracle Worker, we wait for heavenly favours from you and grace in imitating you in reaching the glory of Heaven. Amen.

With ecclesiastical approval
