December 10 – Saint Romaric

Gracious God, Saint Romaric (d.653) was a nobleman who became a Christian and converted his estate into a monastery.  Many people were attracted to the holy life he established there and they came in droves to join him.  I ask him to intercede for the religious communities and lay apostolates that have formed in the Church.  As people realize that the immorality and luxuries of this world fail to satisfy their souls, guide them to join communities that forsake these things for a life of simplicity, service, charity, and prayer.  O Lord, inspire me and my loved ones to separate from the world in the way we live.  Saint Romaric, pray for us.  Amen.

Quotes for Today

Pope Saint Gregory III (d.741)
Feast day December 10

As far as God shall grant you strength, continue to preach the word of salvation, so that the Christian faith may increase and multiply in the name of the Lord.”

Do not shrink, beloved brother, from difficult and protracted journeys in the service of the Christian faith, for it is written that small is the gate and narrow the road that leads on to life.”

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