IT IS HUMILITY that makes men as angels.”

August 27, 2026 | Memorial of Saint Monica

The Gospel of Mark tells of the time when Jesus’ disciples failed to cast out an unclean spirit that was tormenting a young boy, and He rebuked them saying, “This kind can only come out through prayer” (Mark 9:29).

Like St Monica, we need to pray with unwavering hope and faith, to chase away the devil in ourselves or in our loved ones.

August 24 | Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Apostle

𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐖
FOR INNER PEACE AND TRANQUILITY

O Saint Bartholomew, you who were without stain of duplicity, I stand before you asking for emotional health and restoring the root of my nervous and emotional situation and/or crisis. Assist me, O Holy Man of God, when the dark cloud of despair threatens my thinking; you who were tormented by a cruel martyrdom, pity my present need: (request the favor needed). Saint Bartholomew intercede for us who live in an agitated world where anguishes and fears, nervousness, anxieties and depression surround us and which, like tempestuous and stormy waves, stir within us. O Saint Bartholomew, restore in us our inner peace and peace in our homes. Show me that God is always with me and obtain for me the grace of experiencing peace and tranquility in my life; that, following your steps of holiness I may imitate your virtues, living a full life, without the stains or errors of corruptions of this world, so as to merit like you, the praises of God and be able to one day enjoy the Beatitudes worthy of all holy people. I implore this to God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
