Original text and translations

Latin text Deus qui dedisti legem Moysi in summitate montis Sinai, et in eodem loco per sanctos Angelos tuos corpus beatae Catharinae Virginis et Martyris tuae mirabiliter collocasti: praesta, quaesumus; ut, ejus meritis et intercessione ad montem qui Christus est, pervenire valeamus.

English translation O God, who gave the law to Moses on the summit of Mt. Sinai and by means of your holy angels miraculously placed there the body of blessed Catherine, your virgin and martyr: grant we beseech you, that, by her merits and intercession, we may be able to come unto the mountain which is Christ.
