    October 11: Saint John XXIII, Pope—Optional Memorial

    1881–1963
    Patron Saint of papal delegates
    Canonized by Pope Francis on April 27, 2014
    Liturgical Color: White

    Quote:
    Since the Lord chose me, unworthy as I am, for this great service, I feel I have no longer any special ties in this life, no family, no earthly country or nation, nor any particular preferences with regard to studies or projects, even good ones. Now, more than ever, I see myself only as the humble and unworthy “servant of God and servant of the servants of God.” The whole world is my family. This sense of belonging to everyone must give character and vigor to my mind, my heart and my actions. ~Saint John XXIII, journal entry

    Prayer:
    Saint John XXIII, you were raised in humble conditions, were formed well in the faith, responded to God’s grace, and were used in powerful ways that have had a profound effect upon the Church and world. Please pray for me, that I will always remain faithful to God’s will so that He can use me in the particular ways He chooses. Saint John XXIII, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
