Saint Ursula

October 21

Saint UrsulaHeavenly 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.

Saint Acca

October 20

Saint AccaHoly 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.

Saint Paul of the Cross

October 19

Saint Paul of the CrossBlessed 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.


QUOTES by Saint Paul of the Cross

I hope that God will save me through the merits of the Passion of Jesus. The more difficulties in life, the more I hope in God. By God’s grace I will not lose my soul, but I hope in His mercy. >>

Oh my God! Teach me how to express myself. I wish that I were all aflame with love! More than that: I wish that I could sing hymns of praise in the fire of love, and extol the marvelous mercies that uncreated Love has bestowed on us! Is it not truly a duty to thank God for His gifts? >>

Live in such a way that all may know that you bear outwardly as well as inwardly the image of Christ crucified, the model of all gentleness and mercy. >>

If we cannot spend much time at prayer, no matter: to act well is always to pray well. Be attentive to your duties, and at the same time be attentive to God by frequently purifying your heart in the immense ocean of divine love. >>

Entrust yourself entirely to God. He is a Father, and a most loving Father at that, who would rather let heaven and earth collapse than abandon anyone who trusted in Him. >>

Saint Luke the Evangelist

October 18

Saint LukeOur 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.

Saint Ignatius of Antioch

October 17

Saint Ignatius of AntiochDear Holy Spirit, Saint Ignatius of Antioch was taken to Rome under military guard after he was condemned to die in the Roman amphitheater.  On the way, he wrote inspiring letters to Christian communities.  Nothing would stop him from carrying out his ministry of preaching the Gospel.  I ask him to pray for me to continually find opportunities to build up Your kingdom, even in the midst of problems.  Keep me from being blinded by discouragement, so that I may see that there are always opportunities to share the Gospel with others.  When there are roadblocks in my path, show me the way around them.  Saint Ignatius of Antioch, pray for me.  Amen.


QUOTES by Saint Ignatius of Antioch

As God’s athlete, be sober: The stake is immortality and eternal life. >>
