🌿 Saint Eanswida

Saint Eanswida, also known as Saint Ansuida or Saint Eanswythe, was an Anglo-Saxon princess who became a nun and founded one of the earliest convents in England. While there might not be widely recognized church-approved prayers specifically dedicated to Saint Eanswida, you can still offer prayers to her asking for her intercession. Here's a prayer you can use:

Prayer to Saint Eanswida

O holy Saint Eanswida,
you who dedicated your life to God
and founded a convent to serve Him,
intercede for us before the throne of grace.
Help us to emulate your devotion to God
and your commitment to serving others.
May your example inspire us
to live lives of holiness and virtue,
always seeking to do God's will.
Pray for us, dear Saint Eanswida,
that we may be granted the grace
to follow Christ faithfully
and to one day join you in heavenly glory.
Amen.

While this prayer may not be officially approved by the Church, it is a heartfelt way to seek Saint Eanswida's intercession and honor her memory. You can also adapt traditional prayers such as the Litany of the Saints, substituting her name in appropriate places, as a means of invoking her aid and remembering her in your devotions.
