St Albert of Trapani
Albert degli Abbatti was born at Trapani, Sicily, in the 13th century, and
entered the Carmelite Order as a youth. He became renowned as a fervent
preacher of the Gospel and a worker of miracles. He was provincial of
Sicily in 1296, and died at Messina, probably in 1307, with a reputation
for purity and prayer.
Lord God, you made Saint Albert of Trapani a model of purity and
prayer, and a devoted servant of Our Lady. May we practice these same
virtues and so be worthy always to share the banquet of your grace. Grant
this through our Lord.
Concluding prayer of the Morning prayer, text after Discalced Carmelite
Proper Offices.
