October 31 – Saint Wolfgang

Blessed Redeemer, Saint Wolfgang (c.934-994) was a monk and a bishop who had the gifts of teaching and healing. He evangelized the pagan empire of his country’s enemy in order to reduce the threat of attack.  Legend says that he forced Satan to help him build a church.  I ask Saint Wolfgang to pray for our celebration of All Hallow’s Eve, that it be converted from a glorification of the occult into a preparation for honoring the saints.  Help us to build up the Communion of Saints.  Teach us to evangelize those who are fascinated with fear, evil, and death.  Dear Jesus, fill them with Your love, Your grace, and Your holiness.  Saint Wolfgang, pray for us.  Amen.

Quote for Today

Venerable Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)

Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.”

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