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
