St. Alphonsus Liguori

August 1 (time)

Holy Spirit, Saint Alphonsus was a civil and a canon lawyer, and he made it a point to always attend Mass before heading to court. His promised that he would never waste a moment of his life, and held fast to it for over 90 years, even when his rheumatism hurt so much that he could barely move. I ask him to pray for my use of time. O Lord, show me how to dedicate each moment to You. Help me to examine each activity-the work I do for employers, the ministries I do for the Church, the time I spend with my family, and my leisure time. May it all be used to glorify You and increase my holiness. Saint Alphonsus, pray for me. Amen.
