26th February - Saint Isabel of France
Doing implies the spending not of what we have, but of what we are said Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Isabel of France as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the virtue she showed in her life, from the time she was a young girl. Saint Isabel of France, you were known to be pious and virtuous by others at court during your childhood. Though you were surrounded by the worldly concerns of courtly life, you were eager to dedicate your life to God. Please bring my petitions before God Whom you served so eagerly! You grew in devotion and piety as you got older. You longed to devote yourself entirely to God as a consecrated virgin. Pray for me, that I may grow in virtue each day of my life. Pray that I may be as eager to devote myself to God as you were. Saint Isabel of France, pray for us!
