In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.ย
Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us Your servant, St. Bruno, as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the dedication to You that he showed in choosing to devote his life to prayer and penance in
monasticism.ย
St. Bruno, we know very little about your early life, but you must have grown up as a devoted follower of Christ since you were ordained to the priesthood as a young man. You served God worthily as a priest and eventually as a monk throughout the rest of your life.
Feast day of St Francis of Assisi
Great and glorious God,
my Lord Jesus Christ!
I implore Thee to enlighten me
and to disperse the darkness of my soul.
Give me true faith, firm hope and perfect charity.๐
O God, who have made the blood of Martyrs
the seed of Christians,
mercifully grant that the field which is your Church,
watered by the blood
shed by Saints Charles Lwanga and his companions,
may be fertile and always yield you an abundant harvest. Amen ๐
