Devotion to Saints

Written By Reeny Deepak

Take me as your pattern, just as I take Christ for mine. (1 Corinthians 11:1)

All the saints walked along the same path that Jesus walked – they led a life of love and truth. (1 John 2:6)

We are called to imitate the saints – their life, their faith and their teachings. (Hebrews 13:7)

We are to have a great devotion to our patron saint and to have at least three saints to be our models and intercessors. The patron saints of our Community are:
 

  • Saint Anthony of Padua for zeal for the Word of God

  • Saint Francis Xavier and St Therese of Lisieux for zeal for souls

  • Saint Francis of Assisi for accepting suffering

  • Saint Joseph for purity of heart 

  • Saint Pope John XXIII as an intercessor for our charism of opening the Scriptures to the world
