TODAY’S INTENTION: WE PRAY FOR THE CHURCH THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, THAT THROUGH WITNESS OF THE TRUTH OF CHRIST SHE MAY BRING ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATION OF SOCIETY AND CULTURE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, THE FATHER.

Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Angela Merici as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You that she showed in choosing to consecrate herself to Your service.

St. Angela Merici, you felt called to dedicate your life to serving God from the time you were a young woman. You decided to become a consecrated virgin, in order to serve God more fully.

Please continue to bring my petitions before God Whom you served so wholeheartedly!

You established the Company of St. Ursula, in order to carry out your call to serve God through educating young girls. This foundation would become the Ursuline religious order, and many women serve God in this order today.

Pray for me, that I may always seek to do God’s will in my life. Pray that I may always carry out the duties of my vocation faithfully, as you did.

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.
