February 4 – Saint Jane of Valois

O My Jesus, Saint Jane of Valois (1464-1505) was born with deformities and she suffered from illnesses throughout her life.  Yet she refused to give into discouragement, and at a very young age she became devoted to the Blessed Mother.  Later, she helped found a religious order whose chief rule was to imitate the virtues of Mary as revealed in the Bible.  I ask Saint Jane to help me by her prayers that I may overcome my unwillingness to discover goodness within my pain and trials.  Lord Jesus, transform my sufferings into greater holiness.  Sanctify me, and help me become a better student of Your Mother’s virtues.  Saint Jane of Valois, pray for me.  Amen.

We are called to labor in the vineyard of Jesus crucified. Oh! What a beautiful honor it is for us to weary ourselves so that souls may be forever happy in the beautiful Jerusalem where Jesus will reunite us one day!”
