March 6 (orphans)
Most Holy Jesus, when Saint Colette was born, her
parents were nearly sixty years old and she became an orphan at seventeen. I
lift up to You all those who have experienced the death of one or more of
their parents, especially the little children. I ask Saint Colette to pray
that they may come to know the embracing love of God the Father and the
comforting love of the Blessed Mother. O God, send into their lives men and
women who are earthly extensions of Your protection and the Blessed Mother's
nurturing spirit. And bring the healing love of Jesus to all who mourn. Saint
Colette, pray for us. Amen.
