October 16 – Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque

Lord Jesus, You revealed Your Sacred Heart to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque and promised to provide comfort in our afflictions, peace in our homes, and abundant blessings in all our undertakings.  I dedicate myself and my home to Your Most Sacred Heart and I ask Saint Margaret Mary to pray for my understanding of what this means in my life.  Dear Jesus, bless my home, my family, and all our endeavors.  May we know Your mercy through a contrite heart and a repentant spirit.  May we benefit from Your charity in all our needs, especially those that help us to overcome difficulties.  Saint Margaret Mary, pray for me.  Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)

Let us have no further reserve with Him; let us abandon to Him all that we are, without anxiety about the future, not reflecting on ourselves and our incapacity.”

Saint Gerard Majella (1725-1755)
Feast day October 16

Consider the shortness of time, the length of eternity and reflect how everything here below comes to an end and passes by. Of what use is it to lean upon that which cannot give support?”

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