16th October – Saint Hedwig of Andechs
The greater one is by birth, the greater one must be in virtue and the more distinguished we are in station, the more we must distinguish ourselves by our conduct, in order to be a bright example to others - Saint Hedwig of Andechs.
Saint Hedwig, you were born of noble and wealthy lineage, yet you never allowed that to deter you from holiness. Instead, you used all you had for the glory of God and the advancement of the Church. Please pray for us, that we may use all we have been given in life for God’s glory and never for selfish or vain purposes. Saint Hedwig, pray for us! (My Catholic Life)
