Saints celebrated on the 24th of July
SAINT SHARBEL MAKHLUF, PRIEST
Born in 1828, Sharbel Makhluf was a monk and priest of the Lebanese Maronite Order in Annaya, Lebanon, who spent many hours praying before the Blessed Sacrament. He later lived as a hermit of his order. He celebrated Mass close to noon so as to devote the morning to preparation, and the rest of the day to thanksgiving. He died in 1898.
PRAYER:
O God, who called the Priest Saint Sharbel Makhluf
to the solitary combat of the desert
and imbued him with all manner of devotion,
grant us, we pray,
that, being made imitators of the Lord’s Passion,
we may merit to be co-heirs of his Kingdom.
who lives and reigns with you in the unity
of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
