{ See other months }

March 1 – Saint David of Wales

O Holy Spirit, Saint David of Wales received a vision from Jesus that sent him to Jerusalem where anti-Christian sentiment was strong. By relying on You, he preached so powerfully that he converted many who had been attacking the Faith. I seek his intercession for the people in my life who fight against Christian values and religion. Give me the right words, Holy Spirit, when I speak to them. Send into their lives more faith-filled Christians who will guide them to You. Help them get in touch with their inner desire to believe in God’s love and to belong to Christ’s Body, the Church. Saint David of Wales, pray for us. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint David of Wales, Bishop (500-589)

Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed. Do the little things that you have seen me do and heard about. I will walk the path that our fathers have trod before us.”

March 2 – Saint Agnes of Prague

O God of abundant blessings, You made Saint Agnes of Prague (1211-1282) very wealthy, and she freely used this gift to help the poor. She financed a hospital, a Franciscan friary and a Poor Clare convent. She never considered herself as above others, and even after she became abbess, she cooked for the sisters and mended the clothes of lepers. Help me to grow in my own generosity. Teach me to be a cheerful giver as I share whatever You have given me. Bless me with your Spirit of joy in serving those whom the world declares to be unworthy. Help me always to see myself as an instrument of Your grace. Saint Agnes of Prague, pray for me. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Chad of Mercia (620-672)
Feast day March 2

As often as God disturbs the sky, yet spares us still, we should implore God’s mercy, examining the innermost recesses of our hearts and purging out the dregs of our sins, and behave with such caution that we may never deserve to be struck down.”

March 3 – Saint Katharine Drexel

Blessed Savior, Saint Katharine Drexel was born into a generous, wealthy American family. As a religious sister and teacher, she founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament to serve Native Americans and African Americans. She is the patron saint of racial justice and of philanthropists and was the second person born in what is now the United States to be canonized a saint. Lord Jesus, I pray for those who are treated unjustly. Help me to overcome any prejudices I might have. Use me as an instrument of fair treatment. Saint Katharine Drexel, pray for me. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Katharine Drexel (1858-1955)

Peacefully do at each moment what at that moment ought to be done. If we do what each moment requires, we will eventually complete God’s plan, whatever it is. We can trust God to take care of the master plan when we take care of the details.”

Christ wishes the Christian community to be a body that is perfect because we work together towards a single end, and the higher the motive which actuates this collaboration, the higher will be the union.”

You have no time to occupy your thoughts with… consideration of what others will think. Your business is simply, ‘What will my Father in heaven think?'”

March 4 – Saint Casimir of Poland

Mighty Father, Saint Casimir of Poland (1458-1484) was the son of a king and held the high office of Grand Duke. He hated luxury and the temptations of the flesh. He secretly did many penances to keep himself focused on the growth of his spirit. I ask him to intercede for all persons in positions of leadership in our nation and around the world, in government, in businesses, in schools, and in universities. Protect them, O Lord, from the Evil One. Open their eyes to the vanity of this world and give them a longing for Heaven. Help them submit themselves to the divine leadership of Christ the King. Saint Casimir of Poland, pray for us. Amen.

Quote for Today

Venerable Pope Pius XII (1876-1958)

Let all, therefore, try to approach with greater trust the throne of grace and mercy of our Queen and Mother, and beg for strength in adversity, light in darkness, consolation in sorrow; above all let them strive to free themselves from the slavery of sin and offer an unceasing homage, filled with filial loyalty, to their Queenly Mother.”

March 5 – Saint John Joseph of the Cross

O Divine Lord, the holiness of Saint John Joseph of the Cross (1654-1739) revealed itself in the gifts of prophecy, healing, ecstasies, levitating in prayer, and bi-location. Because of his reputation, his superiors put him in charge of establishing a new friary even before he was ordained. In awe of this responsibility, he humbly joined the labor crew and worked hard. I give to You my desire to be holy. Do not let me seek holiness for the sake of outstanding gifts, but help me to imitate Saint John Joseph’s example of service, cheerfully working hard to complete whatever responsibilities are assigned to me. Saint John Joseph of the Cross, pray for me. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Mark the Ascetic (5th Century)
Feast Day March 5

If we want to do something but cannot, then before God, Who knows our hearts, it is as if we have done it. This is true whether the intended action is good or bad.”

Even though knowledge is true, it is still not firmly established if unaccompanied by works. For everything is established by being put into practice.”

The mercy of God is hidden in sufferings not of our choice; and if we accept such sufferings patiently, they bring us to repentance and deliver us from everlasting punishment.”

March 6 – Saint Colette

Most Holy Jesus, when Saint Colette was born, her parents were nearly sixty years old and she became an orphan at seventeen. I lift up to You all those who have experienced the death of one or more of their parents, especially the little children. I ask Saint Colette to pray that they may come to know the embracing love of God the Father and the comforting love of the Blessed Mother. O God, send into their lives men and women who are earthly extensions of Your protection and the Blessed Mother’s nurturing spirit. And bring the healing love of Jesus to all who mourn. Saint Colette, pray for us. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Colette (1381-1447)

If there be a true way that leads to the Everlasting Kingdom, it is most certainly that of suffering, patiently endured.”

March 7 – Saints Perpetua and Felicity

Compassionate Savior, Saints Perpetua and Felicity (3rd century) are the patron saints of expectant moms, young mothers, women wanting to become pregnant, and children who die prematurely. I ask them to intercede for all the mothers—present and future—who are in my life. O Jesus, heal those who have lost children and those unable to bear children. Give a new understanding of love to those who have selfishly decided not to have children, use artificial birth control, or have aborted their babies. And bring to the Holy Spirit’s wisdom those who are struggling to be good mothers. Saints Perpetua and Felicity, pray for us. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Teresa Margaret Redi (1747-1770)

My God, how well you know my great need of Your help. I trust in Your infinite mercy, and I shall always do so, regardless of the spiritual state in which I might find myself.”

March 8 – Saint John of God

Holy Lord, Saint John of God overflowed with compassion and loved doing good for others. I ask him to intercede for the people who have been abandoned by society, those who work in hospitals and their patients, alcoholics and others who have addictions, and the dying. Lord God, send caring people to those who have fallen through the cracks of society, and give renewed energy to those who help. Touch those who need healing, deliver the addicted, and forgive the sins of the dying. Help me to respond with heartfelt generosity to opportunities of doing good for these people myself. Saint John of God, pray for me. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint John of God (1495-1550)

If we look forward to receiving God’s mercy, we can never fail to do good so long as we have the strength. For if we share with the poor, out of love for God, whatever He has given to us, we shall receive according to His promise a hundredfold in eternal happiness.”

March 9 – Saint Frances of Rome

Gentle Holy Spirit, Saint Frances of Rome (1384-1440) was a good wife, and yet her husband ridiculed her. I give to You all the married Christian women I know. May their faith become a great witness to their husbands. Replace arguments and division with peace and unity. Bless the husbands with a fuller understanding of Christian beliefs and the reasons behind true Christian values. Teach them to become the men You created them to be, and help the wives stand strong against worldly ways and the temptations of sin. In the same way, assist the Christian men who are married to non-believing women. Saint Frances of Rome, pray for us. Amen.

March 10 – Blessed John of Vallombrosa

Dear Jesus, Blessed John of Vallombrosa chose the name John of the Holy Trinity when he entered religious life. He began to lose his faith in You when he became fascinated by black magic. He practiced it in secret and collected occult writings until he was caught. The abbot-general sentenced him to solitary confinement. This saved his soul, and after the abbot freed him, Blessed John of Vallombrosa chose to remain in the saving solitude of his cell for the rest of his life. I ask him to pray for those who have turned away from Christ through fascination with the occult. Lord Jesus, rescue them. Blessed John of the Holy Trinity, pray for us. Amen.

Quote for Today

John of Vallombrosa (1310-1395)

I have learnt in this dark and long imprisonment, that there is nothing better, nothing more holy, than solitude: In solitude I intend to go on learning divine things and to try to rise higher. Now that I am free from temporal fetters I am resolved, with the help of Christ, to waste no more time.”

March 11 – Saint Eulogius of Spain

Dear Jesus, Saint Eulogius of Spain loved to read the Bible, and spent much time studying it. When he was thrown into prison because of his faith, he quoted from the Bible to encourage the other Christian prisoners. As they listened, they overcame their fear of dying for You. I offer to You my own love for The Word. Holy Spirit, increase in me true understanding of scripture, and help me to grow in my devotion for reading the Bible and my eagerness to share its truths and wonders with others. Remind me to spend more time getting to know how to apply the Bible to my everyday life. Saint Eulogius of Spain, pray for me. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Eulogius of Spain (d.859)

Ah! If you could but conceive the reward which waits for those who persevere in the faith to the end, you would renounce your temporal dignity in exchange for it.”

March 12 – Saint Seraphina

Divine Father, Saint Seraphina (1238-1253) was the victim of disease and neglect, and suffered continuously. I ask her to intercede for the disabled and handicapped people of my church, my neighborhood, my family and friends, including both the physically challenged and the emotionally wounded. Remind us to offer up our sufferings for the healing and conversion of others. I place our hurts upon the Cross of Christ, so that our pain will unite us to Him and His redemption. Teach us to endure pain with both dignity and the joy that comes from the experiencing the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Saint Seraphina, pray for us. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Pope Saint Gregory the Great (540-604)

When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing works of mercy, we are paying a debt of justice.”

Don’t be anxious about what you have, but about what you are.”

A man does not climb a mountain in great bounds, but by taking slow, steady steps.”

God of Vocations, when Saint Euphrasia was a little girl, she lived near a convent and became fascinated by the nuns. She pleaded with her mother for permission to move into the convent, and was handed over to the tutelage of the abbess. Later, she became a nun and joyfully spent the rest of her life as Your servant. I ask Saint Euphrasia to pray for all the boys and girls who are being called to join Religious orders, especially those in my family. Lord God, protect them from the world’s distractions.

March 14 – Saint Matilda of Saxony

O My Savior, though Saint Matilda of Saxony married a king, she did not lord it over others. She often visited the sick and imprisoned. Her husband learned much from her holiness, taking greater interest in the needs of his people and using his power to ease their suffering. I give to You, Lord, all those in my life who have the power, authority or wealth to improve the lives of others. Teach them to become an instrument of Your love. Help them to become a better disciple of the Gospel. Create situations that will give them a greater compassion for those who in need and a stronger desire to get involved. Saint Matilda, pray for us. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Matilda of Saxony (895-968)

When you communicate, desire all the love that any soul has ever had for Me, and I will accept your love in proportion to the fervor with which you wished for it.” (Jesus to St. Matilda — and through her to us)

March 15 – Saint Louise de Marillac

O Gracious God, Saint Louise de Marillac devoted her life to helping Saint Vincent de Paul serve the needs of the poor. She often taught: “Be diligent in serving the poor. Love the poor, honor them, as you would honor Christ Himself.” I lift up to You the programs in my church and community that help the needy, and the people who do the work. Multiply the donations. Teach me how to think generously. Give me a heart that desires to care for the poor as if I were serving Jesus directly, and help me to see Jesus in each person that begs on the street corner or church door. Saint Louise de Marillac, pray for us. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Louise de Marillac (1591-1660)

Physical separation does not prevent spiritual presence among persons whom Our Lord has united by bonds of His holy love. The stronger this love grows within us, the closer it binds us together.”

March 16 – Saint Gabriel del Rosario Brochero

Lord Jesus, Saint Gabriel del Rosario Brochero traveled long distances in Argentina on the back of a mule to serve the needs of his parishioners throughout his huge territory. He was well known for wearing a sombrero and poncho. He devoted all of his energy to those who needed his priestly help. No sick person was left without the sacraments, even after contracting leprosy from those he served. “Woe if the devil is going to rob a soul from me,” he said. My Good Shepherd, Jesus, help me to fulfill my own calling with as much enthusiasm and determination. Saint Gabriel del Rosario Brochero, pray for me. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Gabriel del Rosario Brochero (1869-1914)

We are not Christians because of an ethical idea or decision, but because we met Jesus Christ.”

The Consecrated Host is a miracle of love; it is a prodigy of love; it is a wonder of love; it is a complement of love; and it is the most finished proof of His infinite love towards me, towards you, towards mankind.”

Saint John de Brebeuf (1593-1649)

March 17 – Saint Patrick

Almighty God, Saint Patrick served You in Ireland because he had been kidnapped and shipped there as a slave. You brought endless good out of the evil committed against him, so I ask Saint Patrick to pray for the Irish people—those born in Ireland and those of Irish descent, and to pray for unity between Protestants and Catholics. Lord, bring an end to the division and fighting. Turn hatred into love, war into peace, and prejudices into mutual understanding. Teach us to conquer the real Enemy, the spirits of evil. Help us to rely on the victory of the Cross for reconciliation between peoples. Saint Patrick, pray for us. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Patrick (387-493)

It is always the same with those who do evil: they labor long only to yield death as their everlasting punishment.”

He watched over me before I knew Him and before I learned sense or even distinguished between good and evil.”

March 18 – Saint Cyril of Jerusalem

O Dear Christ, Saint Cyril of Jerusalem was the bishop of Jerusalem when the persecutions ended and great heresies began. This new enemy tried to force him to accept false teachings about the Church, but he stood firm. When anti-Christians tried to prove that You were wrong in Your prophecies, his confidence came from knowing that You would prove Yourself right. Strengthen my own convictions. Help me to recognize the false teachings in my society and to not be swayed by them. Teach me to stand firmly on the truth when it’s attacked, remaining always peaceful through faith in You. Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, pray for me. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (315-386 A.D.)
Doctor of the Church

Accepting the faith is like putting into the bank the money we have given you; God will ask you for an account of this deposit.”

Our actions have a tongue of their own; they have an eloquence of their own, even when the tongue is silent. For deeds prove the lover more than words.”

Certainly in times of tranquility the cross should give you joy. But maintain the same faith in times of persecution. Otherwise you will be a friend of Jesus in times of peace and his enemy during war.”

March 19 – Saint Joseph

Holy God, you chose Saint Joseph to care for Mary and Jesus because his holiness and love for You was great, his compassion for others was outstanding, and his desire to protect and provide for his family was honorable. I ask St. Joseph to intercede for all the men in my family. May they become fully the husbands and fathers You have called them to be in family leadership. Help them to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength and wisdom and guidance, just like St. Joseph did. Teach them the glory of serving one’s family with humility, and protect them from the influences of the world. Saint Joseph, pray for us. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Pope Saint John Paul II (1920-2005)

At the workbench where he plied his trade together with Jesus, Joseph brought human work closer to the mystery of the Redemption.”

Venerable Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)

Mary and Joseph brought to their espousals not only their vows of virginity but also two hearts with greater torrents of love than had ever before coursed through human breasts. … How much more beautiful Mary and Joseph become when we see in their lives what might be called the first Divine Romance!”

March 20 – Saint Ambrose of Siena

Heavenly King, Saint Ambrose of Siena (1220-1286) was born with painful birth defects, and the only place the baby felt peace was at church. When he grew old enough to talk, he uttered the name “Jesus” and all deformity disappeared. He began to meditate during the night, and at age two, he chose hearing the stories of saints over any other book. May his enthusiasm convict me of how much more time I should dedicate to prayer. Remind me to always call on my patron saint for protection. Help me to become aware of all saints’ love for me, their prayer support, and their guidance. Saint Ambrose of Siena, pray for me. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Maria of the Heart of Jesus (1842-1912)
Feast day March 20

Do not believe that caring for the sick consists only in giving them medicine and food; there is another kind of care which you should never forget, that of the heart which seeks to adapt to the suffering person, going to meet his needs.”

March 21 – Saint Serapion the Scholastic

O Jesus, Saint Serapion the Scholastic often said: “The mind is purified by holy meditation and prayer, the spiritual passions of the soul by charity, and the irregular appetites by abstinence and penance.” I ask him to intercede for me in my efforts of self-purification. Inspire me to do penances that will help me overcome my sinful tendencies. Teach me to fast as a means of emptying myself of the desires of the flesh and the deceptions of the world, so that my life can be filled more fully with Your Holy Presence. Instill in my heart an unconditional love for all people and a longing to serve those around me. Saint Serapion the Scholastic, pray for me. Amen.

The mind is purified by spiritual knowledge, the spiritual passions of the soul by charity, and the irregular appetites by abstinence and penance.”

Each state of life has its special duties; by their accomplishments one may find happiness.”

March 22 – Saint Deogratias

Holy Spirit of God, Saint Deogratias was a bishop who bought slaves in order to free them, using money he raised by selling church goods. He found homes for them when he could, and housed the rest in large churches, purchasing supplies to get them started in their new life. Give me, too, O God, a heart as dedicated as this saint’s in helping those who are being treated unjustly. Purify me of apathy, open my eyes to the needs of people around me, and give me courage to make a difference. Help me to remember that every human being is precious and valuable to You. Saint Deogratias, pray for me. Amen.

Quote for Today

Blessed Clemens Graf von Galen (1878-1946)
Feast day March 22

Faith cannot be reduced to a private sentiment or, indeed, be hidden when it is inconvenient. It also implies consistency and a witness in the public arena for the sake of human beings, justice and truth.”

The prayer above is from Terry Modica’s book Daily Prayers with the Saints.

March 23 – Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo

God of Love, Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo had an unwavering desire to build his parish into a community of believers who imitate Christ. When he was asked to become an archbishop, he refused the honor, but when he learned about the poor condition of the people in the archdiocese, he took the position in order to help them. Inspire me, O Lord, to accept opportunities of position and authority for the sake of distributing Your love and support. Anoint my Christian friendships and parish organizations so that we may grow as a community of faithful followers who imitate Jesus in serving others. Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo, pray for us. Amen.

March 25 – The Annunciation

Holy Spirit, at the Annunciation, You spoke to Mary through an angel to invite her to participate in the plan of salvation. Though she questioned how it was possible for her to become the mother of the Messiah, and she knew she faced rejection from Joseph and others, she gave You her yes. With the help of her prayers, I want to become fully willing to say yes to my part in giving Christ to the world. Encourage me when I don’t understand what You’re asking. Bless me with the grace of hearing the call at my own time of “annunciation” and the courage to trust in Your plan. Let it be done unto me according to Your will. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for me. Amen.

March 26 – Saint Ludger

Most Gracious God, Saint Ludger (742-809) poured all his energy into his priestly ministry and delighted in teaching about You. He spoke to anyone who would listen, any time he would find an opportunity. O Lord, take away my laziness and lack of enthusiasm. I ask Saint Ludger to intercede for me, that I may develop great awe in giving You all I’ve got. Teach me so much about Your love that I bubble over with fervor. Take away any fears that hold me back from shining forth with Your Light. Give me words that teach Who You are, with an intensity that spreads my delight in knowing You. Saint Ludger, pray for me. Amen.

March 27 – Saint John of Egypt

Generous God, Saint John of Egypt (c.305-394) was a hermit who made himself available to people who needed spiritual help. Many people, including the emperor, sought his counsel. He could prophesy the future, look into people’s souls, read their thoughts, and heal them through the use of blessed oil. I ask him to pray that I discover the special gifts You have given me, and that I learn how to use them in all the circumstances of my life and to help others grow closer to You. Teach me, Holy Spirit, to accept and grow in the gifts You’ve bestowed upon me, and favor me with more as I grow in holiness. Saint John of Egypt, pray for me. Amen.

March 28 – Saint Guntramnus

Jesus Lord of Unity, Saint Guntramnus (c.532-592) was a peacemaker. He strictly and justly enforced the law, regardless of a person’s rank or status or situation, but when it came to crimes against himself, he forgave the offenders, even after two attempted assassinations. I lift up to his intercession the victims of war crimes and the victims of violence in schools, homes, and workplaces. Help those who have lost loved ones. Teach us to forgive. Jesus, be the source of reconciliation between all of us. Heal our wounds, help us to let go of hatred and fear, and recreate us into peacemakers. Saint Guntramnus, pray for us. Amen.

Quote for Today

Venerable Louis of Granada (1505-1588)

Among the works comprised in charity to our neighbor, the following are the most important: advice, counsel, succor, forbearance, pardon, edification. These are so strongly linked with charity that the practice of them indicates the progress we have made in the practice of charity.”

March 29 – Saint Jeanne Marie de Maille

Jesus Lamb of God, Saint Jeanne Marie de Maille (1331-1414) is the patron for abuse victims. I lift up to You all the wounded ones in my family, church, neighborhood and circle of friendships. I also lift up to You their abusers. Saint Jeanne Marie, intercede for each one. Embrace them, Lord. Give them a healing of memories. Show them Your holy tears, Your Sacred Heart, and Your deep compassion. Rescue them from current abuses and past hurts. Turn every evil into a good far greater than the imagination can dream. Bring an end to family legacies where abuse has been passed from one generation to the next. Saint Jeanne Marie de Maille, pray for us. Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Diadochos of Photiki (d.5th century)
Feast day March 29

Freedom of choice is the will of a rational soul readily set into motion towards that very thing it might wish. Let us persuade the soul to be, by habit, readily disposed only towards good, so that we ever consume the memory of evil in good thoughts.”

March 30 – Saint John Climacus

O Powerful Jesus, at the beginning of Saint John Climacus’ ministry, he was severely tempted by the devil. By placing all of his trust in You and spending much time in prayer, he resisted the sins and grew in holiness. When people asked for his help in overcoming the difficult traps of sin, they prayed together, and peace replaced the temptations. I ask Saint John to pray with me against the pull of sinfulness in my life. Jesus, through the Cross you overcame the devil and freed me from sin. Help me to live in that freedom today. Remind me to pray whenever I’m in danger of falling back into the slavery of sin. Saint John Climacus, pray for me. Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint John Climacus (525-605)
Doctor of the Church

Faith is the unshaken stance of the soul and is unmoved by any adversity. The believing person is not one who thinks God can do all things, but one who trusts that he will obtain everything. Faith is the agent of things unhoped for.”

Happy the man who strives without end to please the Lord as others try to please men.”

A servant of the Lord is he who in body stands before men, but in mind knocks at Heaven with prayer.”

March 31 – Saint Balbina

Dear God, Saint Balbina (d.c.130) was regarded as an example of Your grace manifested here in this world. In the guidebooks given to pilgrims at the Roman catacombs, his tomb was listed as a place to pray for the gift of grace. I, too, ask her to intercede for me, that I may grow spiritually and be filled with God’s grace. Holy Spirit, inspire more prayer time in me, so that I may avail myself of this special help from You. Overshadow me with Your power, so that I may resist sin, experience Your love, and become a better steward of Your manifold grace for all those around me. Saint Balbina, pray for me. Amen.
