February 14 – Saints Cyril and Methodius

Blessed Lord, Saints Cyril and Methodius were brothers who worked successfully to convert pagans.  Saint Cyril’s special prayer was: “I return to You, Your people, Your gift to me.  Direct them with Your powerful right hand, and protect them under the shadow of Your wings.”  I ask both of these saints to pray for the people God has placed in my life.  Help me, O Lord, to be an inspiration for their spiritual growth.  Protect me from focusing on the hurts they cause, so that I may see these people as gifts.  Teach me to be grateful for the opportunities of serving them.  Saints Cyril and Methodius, pray for me.  Amen.

Quote for Today

Saint Cyril (826-869)

I return to You, Your people, Your gift to me. Direct them with Your powerful right hand, and protect them under the shadow of Your wings.”

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