November 7 – Saint Willibrord
God of Wisdom, Saint Willibrord (c. 658-739) converted many non-Christians at a very old age. No aches or disabling illnesses could stop this apostle, and he won many people to the Faith through his cheerful disposition, wise understandings, and genuine concern for all people. I ask him to pray for the elderly people in my life and all those in nursing homes. O Lord, fill them with a desire to make a difference in others’ lives and show them how to do it. Help me to remain fruitful in my old age, so that when I take my final breath I will hear You say, “Well done my good and faithful servant.” Saint Willibrord, pray for us. Amen.

God acts mercifully, not indeed by going against His justice, but by doing something more than justice; thus a man who pays another two hundred pieces of money, though owing him only one hundred, does nothing against justice, but acts liberally or mercifully.”
Blessed Francis Palau y Quer (1811-1872)

The first thing you have to consider in prayer is your union with God.”
