Almighty King, Saint Sabinus served You as an ambassador for a pope. You have called me to be an ambassador for Your Kingdom. Help me to represent You well. Teach me how to speak boldly and to reveal Your Kingdom of love by loving everyone unconditionally. I ask Saint Sabinus to pray for the people to whom You will send me. May they be opened by the Holy Spirit to receive the message of salvation and be converted. Send angels before me to prepare the way in their hearts. Lord Jesus, help them to get in touch with their hunger for You, and feed them through me. Saint Sabinus, pray for us. Amen.

Dear Holy Spirit, Saint Jerome Emiliani founded three orphanages, a shelter for repentant prostitutes, and a hospital. I lift up to you the orphans, foster children, and abandoned people in my town and nation. I especially ask Saint Jerome to intercede for the children and teenagers who do not have both parents embracing them with healthy love. Spirit of God, lead all these wounded little ones to people who care, people who will raise their self-esteem, people who will help them heal from the pain of being rejected and forgotten. And show me what I can do to help them discover Your love. Saint Jerome Emiliani, pray for me. Amen.
O Generous God, Blessed Giles Mary-of-Saint-Joseph served as a lowly porter in a monastery. He accepted his work with humility out of devotion to You. When assigned the responsibility of distributing food and alms to the poor, he gave generously yet never ran out, thanks to the aid of Saint Joseph. Blessed Giles, pray with Saint Joseph for my own desire to be a giver. I submit to God my finances; may I tithe what I receive and give offerings even greater than this, yet never run out. I also submit my time; may I serve others and still have enough time for my own needs and that of my family. Blessed Giles Mary-of-Saint-Joseph, pray for me. Amen.
Blessed Redeemer, Saints Paul Miki and companions were crucified together because of their faith in You. I offer to You the crosses in my life. Use them for the salvation of the people around me who don’t yet know You, especially those who are in my family. Help me to endure this sacrifice with the same joy Saint Paul and his fellow martyrs had. Turn the crosses I must endure into a ministry of prayers more powerful than words and rituals, and take away the other crosses—the ones You are not asking me to carry. Help me to experience Your love in every holy cross I must bear. Saint Paul Miki and companions, pray for me. Amen.
Loving God, while Saint Agatha was being tortured for her faith, You interrupted her agonies with an earthquake. She thanked You for bringing an end to her pain and passed immediately into Heaven as a blessed martyr. I lift up to You my home and family, workplace and co-workers, church and community. Through the intercession of Saint Agatha, protect us from earthquakes, fire, storms, and other natural disasters. Teach us not to be so attached to our earthly possessions that we want Your protection for selfish reasons; rather, help us become more generous with the goods You have given us. Saint Agatha, pray for us. Amen.
