Prayers to Saint Olaf of Norway
O Saint Olaf, king and martyr,
you knew the tumult of war
and the burden of kingship,
yet sought to place your rule
in the service of Christ
and uphold the law of God
among your people.
Pray for us,
that courage may be governed by faith,
strength tempered by mercy,
and our hearts kept steadfast in trial.
Intercede for our homes and nations,
that we may live in peace
and be found worthy of the crown of life.
Amen.
Saint Olaf of Norway—king and martyr.
