Prayer is the most effective means by which the believer can profess his faith and make his requests to the saint of his devotion to intercede for him (her) before God our Lord.
The prayer to Santa Marta, we do it for being an outstanding saint, who was a follower of Christ, who also hosted him in her house. She was very charitable and very temperate, a virtue that confers on her the justice of her acts and the strength of her that she demonstrated in her actions. It is very popular internationally.
The story tells that she managed to tame with her prayers, to the point of tying her up and subduing at her feet, a beast that attacked the inhabitants of the town in Tarascon, which an army of men had not been able to dominate. This fact consecrated her as her dominator, it has also triggered a series of legends and superstitions, however, we pray to Santa Marta because she is the saint of just, prompt and impossible causes. She is the patron saint of housewives, of cooks in the hotel industry, due to her charitable and helpful character.
His attributes: the torch, the spear whose end ends in a cross, the holy water, the fruit basket and the dragon.
Prayer to Santa Marta for the protection of children
Santa Marta, virtuous, charitable and generous woman,
I come to you, moved by my devotion,
so that by the grace granted by our Lord
intercede before God, to protect my children,
For them and for them I beg your protection.
Santa Marta, the winner!
just as you defeated the dragon of Tarascon,
with your prayers and attributes
saving an entire town that could not against him,
I also implore you to take care of my children
of all evil that may lie in wait for them,
which with your help they can defeat.
Santa Marta, the dominator,
just as you defeated the beast of Tarasca,
binding her and submitting her to your feet;
allows my children to their adversaries
they can overcome and humiliated at his feet.
Amen.
