Have a wonderful day!

Prayer:

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a prayer from St. Nicholas of Flue:

My Lord and my God, take from me everything that distances me from you.

My Lord and my God, give me everything that brings me closer to you.

My Lord and my God, detach me from myself to give my all to you.

Howdy all!  Today we are exploring the life of Saint Homobonus, the son of a wealthy merchant who used his resources to help others and put God before all.  

Have a wonderful day!

Prayer:

O Lord, You who inspired St Homobonus with such zeal for his profession as a tailor, grant that he may guard us that we may not desire riches.

Rather help us to remember that, as Scripture tells us, it will not be easy for a rich man to enter heaven, and so may we be always content with the bare necessities of life and not desire the love of money.

Howdy all!  Today we are going to explore the life of Saint Lutgardis, a woman whose life had ups and downs, but ultimately led her to Jesus and made her possibly the first to devote herself to the sacred heart of Jesus.

Have a wonderful day!

Prayer:

O Jesus, Saint Lutgardis had a deep prayer life that led to a special devotion for Your sacred wounds. I ask to obtain for me a higher level of devotion to Your Passion as she had. Help me to see Your suffering when I look upon a crucifix or receive the Eucharist.

Howdy all!  Today we are exploring the life of Saint Francis of Paola.  He started a devoted order when he was just a young adult, performed incredible miracles, foretold prophecies of the future, and guided nations!

Have a wonderful day!

Prayer:

Divine Master, Saint Francis of Paola learned sanctity by separating himself from the world. He discovered that miracles are the rewards of being attached to nothing but You. He advised his followers to use penances to detach from sinful ways. There are many ideas and possessions that I cling to instead of You, making self-sufficiency a higher priority. Help me, Lord, to realize how harmful this is to my soul. I ask Saint Francis of Paola to pray for me to weed out from my life everything that fails to bring me closer to You. Teach me to detach from the world and to love You above all else.

Prayer:

Lord God, in Saint Clelia Barbieri you gave the Christian community an example of Gospel life in joyful service of others. Grant that our humble following of Christ bring us to the glory of your heavenly Reign. (We ask this) through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Howdy all!  Today we are going to explore the life of Saint Anna Schäffer, she suffered an incredibly painful accident, but offered everything up to atone for others.  She also had visions from Christ and was blessed with the stigmata.  Oh, and she has over 15,000 miracles attributed to her and counting.

Have a wonderful day!

Prayer:

Novena to Saint Anna Schäffer:

[Say the following prayer on a daily basis for 7 consecutive days.]

Glorious St Anna Schaffer,

intercessor for the handicapped,

bedridden, and accident victims,

plead for us.

You became disabled after an accident

when boiling your employer’s laundry

which left you severely burnt and scarred.

Dear Saint, you were humble,

pure and patient.

Please obtain for me from our risen Jesus

the request I make of you.

(Mention your request here...)

Be kind to me for the greater glory of God,

and I shall honour you

and spread your devotion far and wide.

Dear St Anna,

by your stigmata

you miraculously participated

in the sorrowful passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faced with extreme financial hardship

which was made worse by your inability to work any longer,

you never lost hope

and started knitting garments for people,

since you could still use your hands.

We implore you to also intercede

for those who are faced with money problems

due to disability.

You suffered pain,

prayed when you could not sleep at night

and always kept your deep love

and gratitude for our Lord.

Obtain for me

the grace of Christian hope and serenity.

Assist me also to bear any sufferings of this life

with pious resignation

and with a positive attitude,

and protect me in all my needs.

Amen.

Say 1 Our Father...

Say 1 Hail Mary...

Say 1 Glory Be...
