Day 9 - Bl. Carlo Acutis and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati Novena

Peace be with you!
Today we pray that we may increase our prayer life so that prayer is a part of us, not just our days. Let’s seek the intercession of Bl. Carlo Acutis and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati for this intention.

Here are the prayers for today:
🙏🙏🙏
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Jesus, we thank You for giving us models of deep prayer life in Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. Help us to imitate their holy examples!

Blessed Carlo, you once said: “To be close to Jesus is my life plan.” You had such devotion to and such love for Christ. You spent hours in adoration craving a closeness to Him. You prayed unceasingly. You are a beautiful example of how to love and how to pray.

Pier Giorgio, it was in nature that you connected most deeply with God. As you appreciated the beauty of creation during your mountain climbing, you praised God and grew in a strong prayer life.

Pray for us, that we may work hard at making any changes in our lives that we need for holiness. Pray that prayer may be a part of us, not simply a part of our days.

Please also pray for my intentions:

(State your intentions here)

Bl. Carlo Acutis and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!

Lord Jesus, may the elevation of these men as saints of Your Church inspire greater holiness and faith among all the faithful but especially the youth.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen. 🙏🙏🙏

🌹✨ Happy Feast of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta! ✨🌹
(September 5)
Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the life and legacy of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910–1997) – a woman of deep faith, radical charity, and unwavering love for the poorest of the poor.
Born in Skopje (present-day North Macedonia), Mother Teresa felt the call of Christ at a young age and joined the Loreto Sisters. She later founded the Missionaries of Charity, dedicating her life to serving the sick, the dying, orphans, and the most abandoned in society.
When Mother Teresa was just 18 years old, she experienced her call while traveling by train to Darjeeling in 1928. Later, during prayer in 1946, she described her “call within a call” — to serve the poorest of the poor. The verse that guided and sustained her mission was:
⸻
“And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’”
Matthew 25:40
🙏 She once said:
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
Her humility, tireless service, and defense of human dignity earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, and she was canonized a saint by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016.
💙 On this feast day, let us reflect on how we too can be instruments of Christ’s love in a world that desperately needs compassion.
✨ Saint Mother Teresa, pray for us! ✨
Prayer to Saint Mother Teresa
O Saint Teresa of Calcutta,
you who spent your life in humble service of the poorest of the poor,
seeing in them the face of Jesus,
intercede for us before the Heart of Christ.
Teach us to love as you loved —
with compassion, selflessness, and deep faith.
Help us to see Jesus in everyone we meet,
especially in the lonely, the sick, and the forgotten.
Obtain for us the grace to serve joyfully,
to give without counting the cost,
and to live in simplicity and prayer.
Saint Mother Teresa, guide us on the path of holiness.
Pray for us that we may radiate Christ’s love everywhere we go,
and one day share eternal joy with you in heaven.
Amen.

Four vocations in one family!

These are four siblings from the Morrison family, friends of ours from back in Maryland. Of their six children, four have been called to a religious vocation. What a blessing!

St. Peter
📖 Matthew 16:18 “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church...”

The first pope, personally chosen by Christ. His name change from Simon to Peter ("rock") signifies his foundational role.

St. Linus
📖 2 Timothy 4:21 “Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia...”

Linus is listed as the second pope after Peter in early Church writings (see Irenaeus, Against Heresies).

St. Clement
📖 Philippians 4:3 “...Clement also, and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.”

Early Church fathers identify this Clement as Pope Clement I, the third successor of Peter and author of an important letter to the Corinthians.

🕊
Some reports indicate that Pope Francis died leaving only 100 dollars.

Yes, a hundred dollars. Less than 90 euros.
No house.
No bank account.
No investment in his name.

And yet, he was the head of the Catholic Church.
A post that could have earned him about €340,000 a year.

But he refused that money.
Every year.
Since 2013.

Why?

Because he was a Jesuit, and the Jesuits take a vow of poverty.

Rather than living in the luxurious Vatican apartments like his predecessors, he chose to move into the Casa Santa Marta, a simple, modest residence.
No gilding.
No personal servants.
Just a bed, a desk, and his faith.

He wore his old worn-out black shoes, refusing traditional red moccasins.
He was moving in a small Ford Focus, while other religious leaders are driving in limousines.
He ate with the Vatican employees, not in a private dining room.
He simply dressed, without special adornment, just his white outfit and an iron cross.

An invisible wealth...

While some cling to their property, their property, their image...
Pope Francis has chosen to own nothing to offer everything.

No millions.

No complex wills.

Just 100 dollars... and a powerful message: "It's not what you own that matters. That's what you are. What you do for others."

The world is shocked... but inspired.

At a time when wealth often becomes an ultimate goal, Pope Francis leaves an eternal trace without ever having sought to enrich himself.
He did not bequeath any material fortune.
He left a moral fortune. A lesson in humility. A vision of service.

He wasn't a luxury pope.

He was a pope of heart.
A man who has proved that to live simply is to reign differently.

What about you? What will you leave behind?
Money?
Things? Or a real inspiration?
