TODAY’S INTENTION: WE PRAY FOR ALL THOSE WHO WORK IN EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY ALL CATECHISTS AND TEACHERS OF THE FAITH, THAT THEY MAY RESPOND WITH JOY TO THE INVITATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THEIR DAILY WORK.

Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Angela Merici as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the devotion to You that she showed in seeking to form her students in the Faith.

St. Angela Merici, you spent many years of your life devoted to the work of education. You did not see the work of teaching as merely an occupation, but instead as a work of devotion to God.

Please bring my petitions before God Whom you served so faithfully!

You saw that you could form your students to be faithful Catholics through your work of education. You worked diligently to establish schools and orphanages, and to bring other women into this endeavor with you.

Pray for me, that I may always seek to lead others to God in any way that I can. Pray that I may take every opportunity to help bring those around me to holiness.

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.
