18th June – Saint Gregory Barbarigo
We should ask ourselves at the very outset of our lives, this: What will God exact of us on judgement-day? What account must we render? So that we may have for our rule of conduct His judgement, and not our fancy - Saint Ignatius of Loyola.
O holy Saint Gregory Barbarigo, shepherd of souls and champion of reform, intercede for us before the throne of God. Inspire us with your zeal for pastoral care and reform, that we may emulate your example in serving the Church and advancing the Kingdom of God. Amen.
