Our Prayers to the Saints – 25 January – Feast of the Conversion of St Paul, Apostle

Dear Saint Paul, My Patron

Dear Saint Paul, whom I have chosen
as my special Patron, pray for me that I, too,
may one day glorify the Blessed Trinity in Heaven.
Obtain for me your lively faith
that I may consider all persons, things and events,
in the light of Almighty God.
Pray that I may be generous
in making sacrifices of temporal things
to promote my eternal interests,
as you so wisely did.
Set me on fire with a love for Jesus
that I may thirst for His Sacraments
and burn with zeal for the spread of His Kingdom.
By your powerful intercession,
help me in the performance of my duties to God,
myself and all the world.
Win for me the virtue of purity
and a great confidence in the Blessed Virgin.
Protect me this day
and everyday of my life.
Keep me from mortal sin.
Obtain for me the grace of a happy death.
Amen

Posted on by AnaStpaul

Quote/s of the Day – 24 March – Thursday of the Third Week of Lent – Jeremias 7:1-7, Luke 4:38-44

“And the crowds were seeking after Him
and they came to Him
and tried to detain Him,
that He might not depart from them.
But He said to them,
To the other towns too
I must proclaim the kingdom of God,
for this is why I have been sent.”

Luke 4:42-43

“Christ has no body on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which, the compassion of Christ, looks out to the world.
Yours are the feet,
with which, He is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands,
with which, He is to bless others now.”

St Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Doctor of the Church

Great convert Teacher of the Faith
Who never ceased from preaching Christ,
Saint Paul impart to us your zeal,
That we may reach the joys unseen.

All glory to the Trinity,
Forever honour, sov’reignty,
To God Almighty be all praise,
Beginning and the End of all.
Amen
