April 22 – Saint Theodore of Sykeon

Lord Jesus, Saint Theodore of Sykeon (6th Century) was a monk and a bishop who worked amazing miracles, including healings.  He put an end to a plague of insects by praying, confidently putting the matter into Your hands.  I ask him to pray for my most difficult situations, that miracles will occur and build up the faith of those who see or hear my testimony.  I also ask Saint Theodore to pray for the people whose need for miracles have come to my attention.  For Your glory, O Lord, do what seems impossible!  Show me how I can pray to become a channel of Your great power, as an instrument of the Holy Spirit.  Saint Theodore of Sykeon, pray for us.  Amen.
