The best wish I can make is that you may obtain from God, not what you wish, but what He wishes for you. St. Francois de Sales
Devotion for the month of January: Holy Childood
Prayer to the Holy Infant for priests:
Jesus, Divine
Infant, I bless and thank Your most loving Heart for the institution of
the priesthood. Priests are sent by You, as You were sent by the Father.
To them You entrusted the treasures of Your doctrine, of Your Law, of
Your Grace, and souls themselves.
Grant me the grace to love them, to
listen to them, and to let myself be guided by them in Your ways.
Jesus, send good laborers into Your harvest. May priests be the salt
that purifies and preserves; may they be the light of the world; may
they be the city placed on the mountain. May they all be formed after
Your own Heart. And in heaven may they be surrounded by a joyous throng
of those they shepherded on earth. Amen.
Glory Be three times. Infant Jesus, make me love You more and more!
Virtue for the month of January: Perfection
"Be ye perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect." St. Matt., v: 48.
To be perfect in one's vocation, is nothing else than to perform the duties and offices to which one is obliged, solely for the honor and love of God, referring all to His glory. Whoever works in this manner, may be called perfect in his state, a man according to the heart and will of God.— St. Francis de Sales.
