Blessed Antônio de Sant?Anna Galvão (1739-1822) Born in Guarantingueta near São Paulo (Brazil), Antônio attended the Jesuit seminary in Belem but later decided to become a Franciscan friar.

With wildfires blazing in California, we know well how quickly fire spreads! Pope Benedict XVI says," When Jesus talks about fire, he means in the first place his own Passion." Being Christian we can entrust ourselves to this burning fire and help it spread throughout the world! .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I can abandon sinful ways and allow myself to cleansed by the fire of Christ's love. I pray that I may allow the Passion of Christ to touch me that I may spread the fire of that love. .=: W E P R A Y :=. We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at home. We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a good day! May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!
