"You will practice charity better by preserving yourself to serve your neighbor for a long time than by wearing yourself out in a short time over the salvation of a few." ~ St. Vincent de Paul ~
Dear Father, guide me when I am tempted to neglect my health and fail to take prudent measures to safeguard it. You are my strength, and I rely on you.

"Envy begins to appear here regarding the employment you expected. Charity, humility and patience will dispel this cloud, I hope." ~ St. Vincent de Paul ~
Whenever I am overlooked or disregarded, Lord, keep me from all thoughts of self-pity or regret. Your love will preserve me in peace.

"Though our service be rejected, let us believe that whatever happens is for the best. Do we not know that God draws his own glory from contempt?" ~ St. Louise de Marillac ~
Rejection is never easy to accept, especially when it comes from those I have trusted. When this happens, be with me Jesus and help me work through the resentment I may feel and regain my peace of mind.

"The joy of Christmas is not a joy made up of childhood memories, of Christian customers piously retained; it is a profound and ever new joy, a joy of today." ~ Reverand Joseph Jamet, CM ~
Lord Jesus, can I ever thank you for the tremendous gift of redemption you obtained for me by becoming incarnate.
SVDP QUOTE: December 17
"Try to serve Jesus and make resolutions to do your best. Try, when you think anything will make you angry, to reflect: is this preparing me to receive my Jesus?" ~ St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
When I am tempted to speak in anger, Lord inspire me to think of the consequence because breaking with charity is no small thing. If I should fail to do this, let me be the first to ask forgiveness.
SVDP QUOTE: December 16
"Let us depend entirely on God, full of confidence that no matter what men may do or say, all will turn to our good. Yes, should the whole world unite for our destructions, nothing can happen to us but by the permission of God, in whom we have placed our whole trust." ~ St. Vincent de Paul
Lord, it is being brought home to that that even my best intentions and motives are criticized, I must be open to accept whatever truth there may be in those words and then trust the rest to you.

"We should strive to model our actions on those of the Blessed Virgin, for the greatest honor we can offer her is to imitate her virtues." ~ St. Louise de Marillac~
Blessed Mother, I rededicate myself to you today, asking that you keep me from all harm. Obtain all the graces I need to lead a holy life totally committed to Jesus, your Son.

"Clothe yourselves with the dispositions which animated your Master. When he approached a sick person, it was always in the name of the Father, and by the virtue of the Holy Spirit; thus you should always bring with you the goodness and tenderness, the love and mercy of the Father and in your speech and actions remain dependent on the guidance of the Holy Spirit."
Lord, keep me from acting from purely human motives, remembering that whenever I see a poor person, I see you, or if I give to the poor, it is you, Jesus, who receives the gift.
