Saint of the Day

Today we honor St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, St.Bede the Venerable, and St. Gregory VII. While the lives of all the saints are remarkable, these three are especially so and vividly demonstrate how God works through us to accomplish His goals. One could do worse today than following the links above. Pray for us, all you angels and saints.

Today's reading is Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 36:1, 4-5, 10-17
Today's Gospel reading is Mark 10:32-45


Everyday links: The Blessed Virgin Mary
The Rosary
Our Mother of Perpetual Help
St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse, Pray for us.



Prayer to Saint Anthony, Martyr of Desire

Dear St. Anthony, you became a Franciscan with the hope of shedding your blood for Christ. In God's plan for you, your thirst for martyrdom was never to be satisfied. St. Anthony, Martyr of Desire, pray that I may become less afraid to stand up and be counted as a follower of the Lord Jesus. Intercede also for my other intentions. (Name them.)
