TODAY’S INTENTION: WE PRAY FOR ALL FAMILIES, THAT THROUGH THEIR LOVE AND SERVICE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER, THEY MAY BEAR CONTINUAL WITNESS TO THE LORD’S PRESENCE IN OUR MIDST.

Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Angela Merici as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the virtue she showed in dedicating her life to working for a renewal of family life in society.

St. Angela Merici, you lost your parents and your sister when you were very young. You did not have the benefit of a happy family life with them, but you chose to continue serving God throughout your life.

Please bring my petitions before God Whom you served!

You chose to dedicate your life to God, as a young woman. You worked to educate young girls in the Faith, so that they might sanctify their homes and family life when they grew to adulthood.

Pray for me, that I may always seek to serve God, as you did. Pray that I, too, may work for the sanctification of family life in society and in my home.

Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).

St. Angela Merici, pray for us!

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
