Looking Back: Saint Margurite Bourgeoys

Today, January 12, is also the feast of Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, pioneer and evangelist to the "New World," and foundress of  the first Canadian religious order for women, the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame.

On this, her feast, we pray for the intercession of Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys!




O Mother Bourgeoys, you, whose compassionate power is ever increasing, show us your way of Truth, Faith and Holiness.



Make us humble enough to abandon ourselves to the Will of God, generous enough to find in the Cross the joy of the Loving Giver.


May your fidelity to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament lead us ever nearer to this source of light and peace. May your spirit of openness help us to be concerned for our brothers and sisters throughout the world.


Finally, may Our Lady of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, bring us to this unity of eternal grace to which God has called you for all eternity.


Amen.
