Pray with the Saints

St. Catherine of Siena

On April 29, the Church celebrates St. Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Theologian, and Doctor of the Church. “We are of such value to God that he came to live among us … and to guide us home. He will go to any length to seek us, even to being lifted high upon the cross to draw us back to himself. We can only respond by loving God for his love.“

St. Mark

On April 25, we celebrate St. Mark, Apostle and Evangelist. “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the good news of God and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.’” (Mark 1:14-15)

Holy Thursday

On the first night of the Paschal Triduum, we celebrate Holy Thursday and the Institution of the Eucharist. “For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

St. Joseph

On March 19, we celebrate St. Joseph, spouse of the Virgin Mary. “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:20-21).

St. Valentine

On February 14, we celebrate St. Valentine, bishop and martyr, patron of beekeepers, those with epilepsy, engaged couples, and happy marriages. “Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame” (Song of Solomon 8:6).

The Presentation of the Lord

On February 2, we celebrate the Presentation of the Lord and the Purification of Mary in the Temple. “The Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight — indeed, he is coming” (Malachi 3:1).

The Conversion of St. Paul

On January 25, the Church celebrates the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle. “By the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:10).
