O Gracious God, Saint Louise de Marillac devoted her life to helping Saint Vincent de Paul serve the needs of the poor. She often taught: “Be diligent in serving the poor. Love the poor, honor them, as you would honor Christ Himself.” I lift up to You the programs in my church and community that help the needy, and the people who do the work. Multiply the donations. Teach me how to think generously. Give me a heart that desires to care for the poor as if I were serving Jesus directly, and help me to see Jesus in each person that begs on the street corner or church door. Saint Louise de Marillac, pray for us. Amen.
QUOTES by Saint Louise de Marillac
Be diligent in serving the poor. Love the poor, honor them, my children, as you would honor Christ Himself. >>
Physical separation does not prevent spiritual presence among persons whom Our Lord has united by bonds of His holy love. The stronger this love grows within us, the closer it binds us together. >>

O My Savior, though Saint Matilda 
God of Vocations, when Saint Euphrasia was a little girl, she lived near a convent and became fascinated by the nuns. She pleaded with her mother for permission to move into the convent, and was handed over to the tutelage of the abbess. Later, she became a nun and joyfully spent the rest of her life as Your servant. I ask Saint Euphrasia to pray for all the boys and girls who are being called to join Religious orders, especially those in my family. Lord God, protect them from the world’s distractions. Place into their lives faithful Religious who will inspire them to follow the same path. Saint Euphrasia, pray for us. Amen.
Divine Father, Saint Seraphina was the victim of disease and neglect, and suffered continuously. I ask her to intercede for the disabled and handicapped people of my church, my neighborhood, my family and friends, including both the physically challenged and the emotionally wounded. Remind us to offer up our sufferings for the healing and conversion of others. I place our hurts upon the Cross of Christ, so that our pain will unite us to Him and His redemption. Teach us to endure pain with both dignity and the joy that comes from the experiencing the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Saint Seraphina, pray for us. Amen.
Dear Jesus, Saint Eulogius of Spain loved to read the Bible, and spent much time studying it. When he was thrown into prison because of his faith, he quoted from the Bible to encourage the other Christian prisoners. As they listened, they overcame their fear of dying for You. I offer to You my own love for The Word. Holy Spirit, increase in me true understanding of scripture, and help me to grow in my devotion for reading the Bible and my eagerness to share its truths and wonders with others. Remind me to spend more time getting to know how to apply the Bible to my everyday life. Saint Eulogius of Spain, pray for me. Amen.
