St. Angela Merici

January 27 (handicaps)

Healing Lord, during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Saint Angela experienced a major devastation; she became blind. Yet she insisted on continuing the pilgrimage with devotion and enthusiasm. In my journey through this world, and in the journeys of everyone I know-especially the handicapped and disabled-help us to continue onward when adversities hit. Renew our zeal for spiritual growth. You restored Saint Angela's sight; teach us to know that Your healing love is with us even when we don't get the cures we want. Use everything to bring us closer to You. Saint Angela, pray for us. Amen.
