March 24 – Saint Catherine of Sweden

Jesus My Lord, Saint Catherine of Sweden served you with her mother Saint Bridget by organizing pilgrimages to Jerusalem and other places to stimulate people’s spiritual growth.  In between pilgrimages, they spent their time in prayer and meditation, ministering to the poor and instructing them in religion.  Show me what opportunities I have to encourage spiritual growth in others.  I ask Saint Catherine to pray for me to be successful in such endeavors.  Bless the use of my imagination and inspire my willingness to teach the Faith, in my parish and elsewhere.  Saint Catherine of Sweden, pray for me.  Amen.

Make Christ more visible than we ourselves.”

Saint Oscar Romero (1917-1980)
Feast day March 24

Beautiful is the moment in which we understand that we are no more than an instrument of God; we live only as long as God wants us to live; we can only do as much as God makes us able to do; we are only as intelligent as God would have us be.”

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