Saint Dolly Parton
O blessed Saint Dolly,
who used the gifts entrusted to thee
to bring joy, comfort, music, learning,
and generosity into the lives of others,
pray for us.
Teach us to give freely,
to remember the poor,
to cherish children,
and to use whatever gifts we possess
for the glory of God and the good
of our neighbor.
May thy witness inspire us
to love more generously
and to bring light into the lives of others.
Amen.
Renée Good
Saint Renée Good
O blessed Saint Renée,
who bore witness to love, compassion,
and the dignity of every person,
pray for us.
Teach us to love without distinction,
to stand beside the vulnerable,
and to seek peace in a world
too often consumed by division.
May thy witness strengthen those
who labor for justice and peace,
and comfort all who mourn.
Amen.
Alex Pretti
Saint Alex Pretti
O blessed Saint Alex,
who devoted thyself to the care
of those who suffered, pray for us.
Teach us to see Christ in those
who are sick and vulnerable,
to serve without distinction,
and to stand with courage beside
those in need.
Comfort those who mourn thy passing,
strengthen those who serve the suffering,
and lead us toward the mercy of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
