Prayer to St. Jerome 

(for insight)

"Through your anger and confrontations you remind us that we all have a duty to confront others from time to time. 

You also remind us that we have a duty to examine ourselves and confront our own weaknesses and harmful behaviours. 

Your life teaches that I must accept others for who they are. 

You taught of the danger of self-righteousness; of the importance of reflecting upon one of Jesus most insightful teachings: "Let the man who has no sin on his conscience throw the first stone." 

In the light of your teachings, Saint Jerome, help me to see my own self clearly. 

Help me to confront my own biases and to act to change others only out of love. 

If I see that I have the duty to confront another, I ask you to be with me during those necessary but unpleasant moments of confrontation.

Help me to remember that love alone can make changes for the good. 

Amen"

April 23 ☧ Prayer to Saint George

I will go dressed and armed with the weapons of Saint George so that my enemies, having feet will not reach me; having hands will not trap me; having eyes will not see me, neither with thought can they cause me harm.

Firearms will not reach my body; knives and swords will break without touching my body, ropes and chains will break without tying my body.

Jesus Christ protects and defends me with the power of His Holy and Divine Grace.

The Virgin of Nazareth covers me with her sacred and divine mantle, protecting me in all my dolors and afflictions.

And God, with His Divine Mercy and great power, is my defender against the evils and persecutions of my enemies.

Glorious Saint George, in the name of God, extend to me your shield and your powerful arms, defending me with your strength and your greatness; and may my enemies underneath your feet become humble and submissive to you.

So Be it in the Power of God, of Jesus Christ and of the Divine Holy Spirit. Amen
