O Gentle Lord, Saints Nunilo and Alodia were daughters of a Muslim who was a kind man and allowed his Christian wife to raise their daughters in the Christian faith. After his death, their mother married a Muslim who attacked Christianity. He had the girls arrested. When they refused to deny Christ, they were placed in a brothel and later beheaded. I ask them to pray for all children being raised in multi-faith homes and step-families. Holy Spirit, anoint their minds to believe the true Faith and remain devoted to it. I also ask them to pray for abused step-children. Rescue them, O Lord, and heal their wounds. Help them to receive the love from You that they could not receive from their abusers. Saints Nunilo and Alodia, pray for us. Amen.

Heavenly Father, Saint Ursula loved children and became a teacher. She taught them about the Good News and instructed them in how to lead holy lives. She is the patron saint of Catholic education, students, and teachers. I ask her to intercede for the Catholic schools in my area, that whatever problems they face are resolved according to Your wisdom, O Lord. Bless their teachers; may they remain true to the Gospel in all of their lessons. Bless the students; may they learn about the Faith and also how to live the Faith. Provide Catholic education to families who cannot afford the normal tuition. Saint Ursula, pray for us. Amen.
Holy Spirit, Saint Acca was extremely learned in the ways of the Faith. He highly valued education and became a renowned Bible scholar. He is the patron saint of learning, so I ask him to intercede for all school students. Guide them in their studies, O Lord. I also ask him to pray for the spiritual formation of my loved ones. Teach us to imitate Jesus and to live according to the Gospel. Anoint our minds to more readily absorb what You want us to understand. Bless the time we spend reading or attending classes. Help us to sort out errors or faulty information so that we learn only what is true. Saint Acca, pray for us. Amen.
Blessed Redeemer, Saint Paul of the Cross had a devotion to Your Passion since early childhood and grew up adoring the Blessed Sacrament. Before he was ordained, You set him to work forming a new religious community, the Passionists, with the mission of preaching the glory of Your cross. I ask him to pray for my home, my parish, ministry teams, and other communities to which I belong. O Jesus, may Your holy cross always remind us to make sacrifices for the sake of love. Bind us together in service and unity. Teach us to lead others to salvation and to reflect on Your Passion. Saint Paul, pray for us. Amen.
Our Father, Saint Luke the Evangelist was a physician who helped Saint Paul set up young faith communities. Because he is a patron saint of doctors, I ask him to pray for everyone in the medical field. May they see their work as a calling to serve You and become good examples of Your compassion. I ask him to pray especially for those involved in performing abortions or euthanasia. O Lord, teach them that all life is valuable. Soften their hearts and lead them to repentance. Help us who are pro-life to remember to love them always. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. Saint Luke, pray for us. Amen.
