Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Rose Philippine Duchesne as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You she showed from the time she was a child. St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, your family members did not want you to devote your life to God in a religious vocation. But despite their opposition, you chose to dedicate your life to serving God. Please bring my petitions before God Whom you served! You entered the Visitation of Holy Mary religious order when

you were nineteen years old. Though your family did not support this decision, you wholeheartedly devoted yourself to your vocation. Pray for me, that I may never allow the opposition of others to deter me from serving God. Pray that I may be as eager to serve God as you were.

Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).

Dear Saint Cecilia, one thing we know for certain about you is that you became a heroic martyr in fidelity to your divine Bridegroom.
