July 18 – Saint Bruno of Segni

Sacred Jesus, Saint Bruno of Segni (1045-1123) was an avid defender of orthodox Christian teachings.  One of the doctrines he strongly promoted was Your real presence in the Eucharist.  I ask him to pray for those who don’t understand, those who reject, and those who abuse the supernatural reality of the Eucharist.  Help us all to experience the new life that comes from receiving You in the form of bread and wine.  Let this Sacrament heal our divisions. 

(Side Note: This is the purpose of Terry Modica’s book, My Soul Shall Be Healed @ gnm.org/terry-modica-author/my-soul-shall-be-healed.)

O Lord, teach us how to be Eucharist for one another by making sacrifices of love and forgiving each other as You have forgiven us.  Saint Bruno of Segni, pray for us.  Amen.

Quote for Today

Venerable Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)

As a man must be born before he can begin to lead his physical life, so he must be born to lead a Divine Life. That birth occurs in the Sacrament of Baptism. To survive, he must be nourished by Divine Life; that is done in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.”

The prayer above is from Terry Modica’s book Daily Prayers with the Saints.
