Saintly Prayers
“Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God.” -Catechism of the Catholic Church
✞
"When we pray to the saints, the understanding is always clear that we are asking them to help us by praying to God, and not by their own power or actions apart from Him." -David C. Ford, Ph.D

Saint of the Day!
If you would like us to pray for you, please add your intentions to this page or email me.
Prayer:
Great model for
God-loving boys and cherished pupil of the famous Don Bosco, who
died prematurely, humanly speaking, but you had already attained
mature spiritual wisdom. Your kindness won you many friends but
your love above all sought the Master who is present in our
tabernacles. His praises you Eucharistically sang. Make choir
boys be singers like you for the love of Jesus, our most loving
Master. Amen.
St. Frances of Rome
Prayer: Saint Frances of Rome,
help us to see the difference between what we want to do and what God
wants us to do. Help us to discern what comes from our will and what
comes from God's desire. Amen
Prayer:
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers,
works, joys and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the
intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for
sin, the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of
our Bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those
recommended by our Holy Father this month. Amen.

St. John of God
Prayer:
Saint John of God, help us to act out of
love as soon as we feel the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Help us
learn to fight the little voices in our heads and hearts that give us
all sorts of practical reasons to wait or delay in our service of God.
Amen
St. John Joseph of the Cross
Prayer
:
St.
John Joseph, we ask today for your mighty intercession, to pray for us
that we learn humility and seek an attitude of service so we, too, may
follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
In His Mighty Name we pray, Amen.
Father, your love gave the saints Perpetua and Felicity courage to
suffer a cruel martyrdom. By their prayers, help us to grow in love of
you. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
