Heavenly Father, Saint Alban was converted by a priest whom he sheltered from persecutions and rescued by changing clothes with him. As the patron saint of converts, I ask him to pray with me for all the people I know who have not yet converted. O Lord, remove from their lives all the crutches they’ve been leaning on when they should be turning to You. When people reach their bottom, help them to see that they have nowhere else to turn, so that they look upwards to You and realize it’s You they need. Send angels and people into their lives who will deliver them into Your arms. Saint Alban, pray for us. Amen.

O Loving God, Saint Romuald chose to die in solitude after a lifetime of devoting himself to You as a hermit. I ask him to pray for me whenever I am alone. Help me, dear Lord, to let go of the idea that people are to be my source of happiness. Teach me to be satisfied with You, who supplies all my needs, in the stillness of my heart and in the quiet of an empty room. Guide me into greater enjoyment of being alone with You. I also ask Saint Romuald to pray for a renewal of Eucharistic Adoration and devotion in holy hours, that all of Your Body may grow more deeply in touch with You. Saint Romuald, pray for us. Amen.
My Lord Jesus Christ, Saint Elizabeth of Schönau was a visionary favored with ecstasies and prophesies. Daily, she received visits either from You, the Virgin Mary, angels, or the saint of the day, receiving instructions for her spiritual growth. Because of this, she was often assaulted by demonic forces, and now is the patron saint against temptations. I ask her to pray for me when I am tempted, and when demons attack me. Help me, O Lord, to know my patron saints and angels more intimately, so that I may fully benefit from their protection, from their prayers, and from their spiritual direction. Saint Elizabeth of Schönau, pray for me. Amen.
Blessed Holy Spirit, Saint Botulph is the patron saint of Boston, because he founded a monastery in the old country in a place that came to be called “Botulph’s town” or “Botolphston” and this later was shortened to “Boston”. He was widely known as being blessed with Your grace. I ask him to pray for all the residents of Boston, as well as the people of the place where I live. Inspire us, O Lord, and fill our homes with Your presence, so that our city may be protected from evil. Send in a legion of holy angels to guard and to guide the leaders, the Christians, and the needy. Saint Botulph, pray for us. Amen.
O Jesus, Saint Lutgardis had a deep prayer life that led to a special devotion for Your sacred wounds. In her late teens she received her first vision, and later during ecstasies, blood sometimes dripped from her forehead. I ask her to obtain for me through her prayers a higher level of devotion to Your Passion. Help me to see Your suffering when I look upon a crucifix or receive the Eucharist. And teach me to understand more fully that it is through Your wounds I am healed and without Your death there would be no resurrection. Take my own wounds, O Jesus, and give me new life. Saint Lutgardis, pray for me. Amen.
