Saint Anthelm

June 26

Saint-Anthelm.jpgGod of Heaven, Saint Anthelm strayed from You when he got caught up in Church politics, seeking leadership positions to increase his power and authority.  However, during a visit to a monastery, the attitude of service he witnessed changed his heart.  Resigning from his office, he joined that monastery.  I ask him to pray for the people in my diocese, town, and nation who are controlled by a desire to gain positions of status for their own personal benefit.  Help us all, dear God, to discover that our truest and best successes come only from knowing Your love and living a life of service.  Saint Anthelm, pray for us.  Amen.

Saint Prosper

June 25

Saint-Prosper.jpgHoly Spirit, Saint Prosper was widely known for his work in converting heretics.  He convinced them of the truth by increasing their understanding and compassionately educating them about their mistakes.  I ask him to pray for the people today who hold wrong beliefs and misunderstandings about abortion, euthanasia, sexual activities, occult powers, birth control, and other issues of morality.  Make us aware, O Lord, of the errors we believe, and explain to us what is right.  Point us to scriptures that clarify the truth for us, and give us ears to learn from teachers of the Faith.  Saint Prosper, pray for me.  Amen.

Birth of John the Baptist

June 24

Birth-of-John-the-Baptist.jpgO Savior Jesus, at time of the birth of John the Baptist,  his father Zechariah was ministering in the temple, when an angel brought him news that his elderly wife Elizabeth would bear a child and that this boy would be filled with the Holy Spirit.  But Zechariah doubted, and because of this was struck dumb until the birth of John the Baptist.  I ask Saint John to pray for me when I doubt, that my own hesitancy to believe in You will be converted into strong faith and true conviction.  Help me to learn from Your promises that I can always trust in You.  Lord Jesus, I do believe; help my unbelief.  Saint John the Baptist, pray for me.  Amen.

Saint Etheldreda

June 23

Saint-Etheldreda.jpgDear Father, Saint Etheldreda used to enjoy showing off her wealth by wearing lavish jewelry.  After her conversion, she lived an austere life, and when she developed an enormous and unsightly tumor on her neck, she gratefully accepted it as a penance for all the necklaces she had worn when she’d been so full of pride.  Lord, turn me away from using material possessions to draw attention to myself, and help me to discover my true inner beauty, which You created in me, and which always shines in Your eyes regardless of the clothes I wear, the jewelry I put on, or the color I dye my hair.  Saint Etheldreda, pray for me.  Amen.

Saint Paulinus of Nola

June 22

Saint-Paulinus-of-Nola.jpgBeloved Lord, Saint Paulinus of Nola used his position as a Roman Consul to accumulate great wealth, but this did not satisfy him.  In his yearning to find You, he gave away all his possessions to the poor.  Then You called him to become a bishop, and he used that position to help many people.  I ask him to pray for me in all the areas of my life where I am dissatisfied.  Help me, O God, to look more honestly at how I use the positions I’m in and the motives behind my ambitions.  Make me aware of the longings I have that only You can satisfy and, guide me in fulfilling my true vocation.  Saint Paulinus of Nola, pray for me.  Amen.


QUOTES by Saint Paulinus of Nola

Listen, then, my son, and give me your ear. Break off all ties which bind and entangle you in this world. Change your secular service into something better, start being a soldier for the eternal King. >>
