Do you want more
prayer power?
Would you like to grow in holiness?
Author Terry Modica says: "Already
my book is helping! I sent the prayer to Saint Alexius (patron
saint of the homeless, July 17) to a friend whose ex-husband was
homeless, and a day later he had a home to live in! Praise the
Lord and thank you Saint Alexius!" (8/26/99, while
writing the book)
You can use this book to experience the friendship and
spiritual guidance of hundreds of saints, one for each day of
the year. If you desire to grow in holiness, the prayers given
here will point you in the right direction, and the saints will
lead you by the hand and never let go!

from the book:
January 1
Mary, Mother of God (blessing the New Year)
Heavenly Father, You blessed the Virgin Mary with the fullness
of grace. She is my model of faith, hope, and love. I give
this new year to her intercession and ask for her holy prayers.
Place my needs into the protection of her motherly love.
With her help, I want my faith to grow. Give me an increase
in the virtue of hope when troubles tempt me to despair.
Guide me in understanding Your infinite love. And join my
heart, dear Lord, to the Holy Mother's Immaculate Heart,
so that I may improve in loving everyone unconditionally,
in imitation of my Savior Jesus. Amen.

While growing up Protestant, Terry Modica developed a relationship
with Jesus. After the Holy Spirit led her to the Catholic Church,
she struggled for several years to understand what role Mary and
the saints should have in her life. Then, she experienced a miraculous
overnight devotion to the Blessed Mother. Soon after, she began
to read about the saints: starting with Padre Pio, St. Frances
and St. Clare, and then St. Teresa of Avila. Through studying
their lives, these residents of Heaven have become, in a way,
her spiritual directors and close friends.
"Those who love you for His sake...will never desert you,"
says St. Teresa (The Way of Perfection, Chap. IX, 3). Inspired
by the awareness that the saints love us and care about us beyond
all measure, and that they will come to our aid when we need prayer
support and encouragement, Terry Modica wrote this devotional
handbook.
