Prayers to Saint Mildred of Thanet
O Saint Mildred,
you were called at the water's edge
where the Spirit first breathed faith
upon these shores,
and lived in quiet service
to God and to those in your care.
Pray for us,
that we may hold our calling with gentleness,
serve the poor and the forgotten with open hands,
and find in our daily work a holy purpose.
Amen.
Saint Mildred of Thanet, virgin and abbess.

Thanet and the Christian Memory of England
O Saint Mildred,
virgin and abbess,
you served God faithfully
in the quiet duties of each day.

that we may do our work with patience,
keep charity in small tasks,
and offer the labor of our hands
to Christ our Lord.
Amen.
O Saint Mildred,
virgin and abbess,
you kept a house of prayer
in quiet order before God.
Pray for us,
that we may guard peace in our homes,
rule our words with gentleness,
and keep each day
faithful before Christ.
Amen.
O Saint Mildred,
virgin and abbess,
your name was kept in prayer

Prayer to Saint Mildred for
Those Entrusted with the Care of Others
O Saint Mildred,
virgin and abbess,
you served God faithfully
in the house placed under your care.
You guarded prayer,
kept order,
welcomed those entrusted to you,
and bore the weight of authority
with humility before Christ.
Pray for us,
when others depend upon our words,
our labor,
our judgment,
or our strength.
Obtain for us gentle hearts,
steady hands,
and the grace to rule ourselves
before we guide another.
Help us to correct without anger,
to command without hardness,
to listen without weariness,
and to remember the weak,
the poor,
and the forgotten.
O Saint Mildred,
pray for all who carry care for others,
that we may seek what is just,
love what is kind,
and walk humbly with our God
in every duty given to us.
Amen.
Honour Saint Mildred of Thanet with us in prayer and scripture.
This video tribute invites you to reflect on her quiet rule, monastic care, and faithful service in Anglo-Saxon Kent.
