| Saint Francis de Sales Pray for us! |
Dear Saint Francis
de Sales, by your life and in your writings you teach us to follow Christ by
loving God our Father, and all other persons, our brothers and sisters. Obtain
for us the grace to be led by the Holy Spirit, so that we show our love for God
by fidelity to prayer, by diligence in our work, by cheerful service of others.
Teach us to be
patient and forgiving, kind and helpful to all. Help us to face the
difficulties and sufferings of life with a heart full of trust in God our
ever-loving Father.
Dear Saint Francis
de Sales, while on earth you were always ready to help those in need. Come to
my aid and obtain for me from God, through the intercession of Our Lady, the
special grace for which I now pray.
[Pause]
O gentle Saint
Francis, bless our home with your presence. May our hearts glow with love for
God and a sincere concern for others, so that our lives may show in word and
deed the blessing of your patronage. Amen.
