St. Jerome, through your anger and confrontations
you remind us that we all have a duty
to challenge others from time to time.
You also remind us that we have a duty
to examine ourselves and confront
our own weaknesses and harmful behaviors.
Your life teaches that I must accept others
for who they are.
You taught of the danger of self-righteousness;
of the importance of reflecting upon
one of Jesus' most insightful teachings:
"Let the man who has no sin on his conscience
throw the first stone.";

Glorious Prince of the heavenly hosts
and victor over rebellious spirits,
be mindful of me who am so weak and sinful
and yet so prone to pride and ambition.
Lend me, I pray, your powerful aid
in every temptation and difficulty,
and above all do not forsake me
in my last struggle with the powers of evil.

Amen.

Lord Jesus, may everything I do begin with You,
continue with Your help,
and be done under Your guidance.
May my sharing in the Mass free me from my sins,
and make me worthy of Your healing.
May I grow in Your Love and Your service,
and become a pleasing offering to You;
and with You to Your Father.
May the mystery I celebrate help me
to reach eternal life with you.

Noble Saint Vincent DePaul,
beloved servant of the poor,
may we follow your example and do good works
among those whom society has abandoned,
enslaved, or forgotten.
Inspire us to feed the hungry, to love a child,
to provide comfort and medicine to the sick,
to clothe those whose garments are tattered,
and to offer hope and our Lord's words
to all who need relief.
Pray for us to our beloved God
that we may commit ourselves selflessly
to doing the same charitable acts
that you did all your life, and intercede with him

Heavenly Father, we thank You
for raising Your Servant, St. Paul VI,
to be numbered among the Saints.
May his example of faith,
courage and patient endurance
inspire us in our daily living of the Gospel
and in our witness to Jesus Christ.

May we too be Prophets of life,
respecting, protecting and cherishing the gift of life,
most especially in its most vulnerable moments.

May we too be Your missionaries at this time,
seeking to transform the hearts of all men and women
through the joy we find in Christ.

Good morning my Lord,
I can't believe it's morning again!
It seems that I'm always busy and rushing around.
But no matter how rushed life may be,
help me to think of You always.
Thank you for another glorious day,
may Your word be always on my lips
in my heart and on my mind.
I love you my Lord, Savior and friend.

Amen.

God the Father,
I thank You for creating me.

God the Son,
I thank You for redeeming me.

God the Holy Ghost,
I thank You for sanctifying me;
infuse into my thoughts,
words and actions Your grace,
so that they may be supernaturally pleasing to You
and supernaturally rewarding to me, forever.

O Blessed Trinity,
abundantly assist me in becoming that
which You intended me to become
when You created me, for in that perfection
I will give You the glory You desire of me,

Dear God, You have hast generously blessed
Your servant, St. Pio of Pietrelcina,
with the gifts of the Spirit.
You have marked his body
with the five wounds of Christ Crucified,
as a powerful witness to the saving Passion
and Death of Your Son.
Endowed with the gift of discernment,
St. Pio labored endlessly in the confessional
for the salvation of souls.
With reverence and intense devotion
in the celebration of Mass,
he invited countless men and women
to a greater union with Jesus Christ

Blessed Saint Joseph,
holy guardian of Jesus and Mary,
assist us by your prayers
in all the necessities of life.
Ask of Jesus that special grace
which He granted to you,
to watch over our home
at the pillow of the sick and the dying,
so that with Mary and with you,
heaven may find our family unbroken
in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Amen.
