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.

Howdy all!  Today we are going to explore the life of Saint Clelia Barbieri, her parents battled family feuds to marry and have her, and she was destined for greatness.  From starting her own order to fulfilling miracles, her story is unbelievably intoxicating.

Have a wonderful day!

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...

Prayer:

We adore You, O Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament; we pray that Your Sacred Presence may be honoured daily more and more, that the little ones whom You desire to come to You may frequently approach Your Holy Table. Amen.

Howdy all!  Today we are looking at the life of an incredible child, little Gilles Bouhours.  He was visited numerous times by Mary and others and he had a message for the Pope that changed the world.

Have a wonderful day!

Prayer:

Lord, You instilled immeasurable faith in Gilles Bouhours, please help me find even a fraction of the faith that little Gilles had so that I may love You and Mary more fully.  Grant me the love that he had for all of You and the love that he had for his family and everyone around him.  Amen

Howdy!  Today we are going to explore the life of Saint Jane Frances de Chantal, she was living a splendid life but then a terrible tragedy changed everything.  And what did she do?  She bounced back with twice as much resolve and changed the world!

Have a wonderful day!

Prayer:

Lord, you gave Saint Frances de Chantal the strength to forgave the man who killed her husband. Help me learn to forgive a particular person in my life who has caused me harm. You know how difficult it is to forgive. Help me to take the steps she took to welcome this person back into my life. Amen

Howdy all!  Today we are exploring the life of Saint Vladimir of Kiev, patron of Kiev, and a man who went through a conversion I probably wouldn't believe if the details weren't recorded like they were.

Have a wonderful day!

Dear Lord, you were patient and forgiving with Saint Vladimir of Kiev, I humbly ask that you be patient and forgiving with me as well. And help guide me through faith just as you helped Saint Vladimir come from the darkness in his pagan practices to the light in worshipping your Holy Grace. Amen
