October 5 – Saint Flora of Beaulieu

Holy Spirit, sometimes Saint Flora of Beaulieu (1309-1347) did not like her cloistered life in the convent.  She felt tempted to return home to her family, but she stayed in the order and eventually You rewarded her with the gifts of visions and prophecies.  I ask her to pray for all those in religious orders.  Give them persistence in doing what You called them to do, no matter how difficult it gets.  Help them when they are tempted to take an easier path.  O God, be their source of encouragement for continuing in their vocations, and remind them of Your promise to reward them with gifts beyond their imagining.  Saint Flora, pray for me.  Amen.

Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938)

Love is a mystery that transforms everything it touches into things beautiful and pleasing to God.”

He who knows how to forgive prepares for himself many graces from God. As often as I look upon the cross, so often will I forgive with all my heart.”

Great love can change small things into great ones, and it is only love which lends value to our actions.”
