St. William of Vercelli, I thank God for your illustrious life of goodness and I marvel at your austerity. Through your graces and your intercession in Heaven grant us your heavenly help. Let us know that God Himself chose the hardest path for our salvation. He wants us to strive too. Free us from self-indulgence and laziness. Help me in the moments of hesitation. Grant me the grace to be industrious, diligent and prayerful. Amen.
