Today's Saint: St. John Eudes

Our wish, our object, our chief preoccupation must be to form Jesus in ourselves, to make his spirit, his devotion, his affections, his desires and his disposition live and reign there. All our religious exercises should be directed to this end. It is the work which God has given us to do unceasingly.

Mary, our dearest Mother, for whom St. John Eudes had such great love, show us how to form Jesus in ourselves, that he may live and reign in us forever. Amen.
