September 4 – Saint Cuthbert

Dear Jesus, Saint Cuthbert (c.634-687) was a bishop who often visited his people, entering home after home to minister to each person individually and to guide them spiritually in their specific needs.  I ask him to pray for me to balance my time so that I can accomplish my work and still be able to visit my friends, neighbors, and family.  Help me to not be so caught up in activities that I forget about others.  I also ask him to pray for those who have the church ministry of visiting the homebound and hospitalized; may we be Your instruments of spiritual growth through the offering of our gift of time.  Saint Cuthbert, pray for me.  Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Rose of Viterbo (1234-1252)
Feast day September 4

Prayer reveals to souls the vanity of earthly goods and pleasures. It fills them with light, strength, and consolation, and gives them a foretaste of the calm bliss of our heavenly home.”

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