Prayer for day 7
Saint Albert, preacher of God and constant servant of Christ, wherever thou didst go, thou didst work for peace. Pray for us, blessed Albert, that we may be worthy of the promises of Christ. Albert glorified the Lord by austerity of life, devotion to prayer, love of the brethren, and the spreading of sound doctrine. O Lord, God of all knowledge, we praise and bless Thee with heart and voice for raising up from among Thy people a great Doctor of the Church. O God, who didst make Saint Albert, bishop and teacher, renowned for placing human wisdom at the service of divine faith, grant us so to follow his teaching that we may rejoice at last in the perfect light of heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Saint Albert the Great, pray for students, teachers and seekers of truth.

Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
