October 6
O Savior, Saint Bruno knew that cheerfulness comes from serving You with hard work, fasting, and continual prayers. He said, “Try and you will see how rewarding it is to serve God with all the love of your heart.” He felt great concern for those who lived in Satan’s grip and didn’t know the joy of loving You. He is the patron saint of possessed people, so I ask him to pray for all those who are in the clutches of the devil, especially those in satanism, witchcraft, and other occultic activities. Lord Jesus, rescue them from the torment of not knowing Your love and bring them to Your salvation. Saint Bruno, pray for them. Amen.

Rejoice, my dearest brothers, because you are blessed and because of the bountiful hand of God’s grace upon you. >>

Holy Spirit, sometimes Saint Flora of Beaulieu did not like her cloistered life in the convent. She felt tempted to return home to her family, but she stayed in the order and eventually You rewarded her with the gifts of visions and prophecies. I ask her to pray for all those in religious orders. Give them persistence in doing what You called them to do, no matter how difficult it gets. Help them when they are tempted to take an easier path. O God, be their source of encouragement for continuing in their vocations, and remind them of Your promise to reward them with gifts beyond their imagining. Saint Flora, pray for me. Amen.
Dear God, when Saint Francis of Assisi turned his life over to You, he gave away his possessions, including the clothes on his back. He discovered that this freed him to experience Your love more fully, so he said, “Let us give alms because these cleanse our souls from the stains of sin.” I ask him to intercede for me as I take action to help others through my money, time, and talents. O Lord, accept these donations as penance for my purification. As my family and friends see what I’m doing, give them a heart that understands. If they criticize me, give me the courage to continue growing in generosity. Saint Francis, pray for us, Amen.
Good Jesus, Saint Gerard of Brogne joined a monastery in order to find a quiet, peaceful place to spend his time in prayer, although he willingly left his solitude to help others become stronger in their faith. He believed that if people realized the joy that came from praying, they would pray more often, so I ask him to help me find my own “hermitage,” a quiet place where I can discover the joy of frequent prayer. Lord, teach me to discipline myself to take time for solitude despite my many activities and distractions. Guide me in overcoming my laziness and raise the quality of my prayers to a higher level. Saint Gerard, pray for me. Amen.
Heavenly Father, You have sent guardian angels to relay Your messages to us, to protect us from danger, and to rescue us from the Evil One. I thank You for the precious gift of these holy guardians that You assigned to me and my loved ones. O Lord, give us Your help through our angels to fend off the evil spirits that tempt us, that send us deceptive messages, that try to cause divisions, and all others who seek the ruin of our souls. I also pray that the guardian angels of my church, my town and my nation will have all the strength and power they need to protect us from the snares and attacks of wickedness. Guardian angels, pray for us. Amen.
