ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY
Saints celebrated on the 27th of January
SAINT ANGELA MERICI, FOUNDRESS
Saint Angela Merici was born at Desenzano, near Brescia, about 1470. In Renaissance Italy, with its various excesses, Angela saw her task as the formation of Christian women: in 1535 she founded the institute of the Ursulines, who were devoted to the education of poor girls as Christians, and to the missions. She died in 1540.
PRAYER:
Lord,
may Saint Angela commend us to your mercy;
may her charity and wisdom help us
to be faithful to your teaching
and to follow it in our lives.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
