June 19 – Saint Romuald

O Loving God, Saint Romuald chose to die in solitude after a lifetime of devoting himself to You as a hermit.  I ask him to pray for me whenever I am alone.  Help me, dear Lord, to let go of the idea that people are to be my source of happiness.  Teach me to be satisfied with You, who supplies all my needs, in the stillness of my heart and in the quiet of an empty room.  Guide me into greater enjoyment of being alone with You.  I also ask Saint Romuald to pray for a renewal of Eucharistic Adoration and devotion in holy hours, that all of Your Body may grow more deeply in touch with You.  Saint Romuald, pray for us.  Amen.

Saint Romuald of Ravenna (951-1027)

Better to pray one psalm with devotion and compunction than a hundred with distraction.”

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