Prayer for the Courage to be Great
Jesus says, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5)
Pier Giorgio responds: “With violence you sow hatred, and you harvest its bad fruits. With charity, you sow peace among men – not the peace that the world gives, but the true peace that only faith in Jesus Christ can give us in common brotherhood.”
Pause for a silent prayer and reflection.
Suggested additional reading: Matthew 11:29
We pray: Saint Pier Giorgio, guide me in claiming my rightful inheritance as a child of God and heir of His kingdom. Show me, by your own example, how to be slow to anger, and gentle in my dealings with others. Help me to show forth the peace of Christ by speaking words of peace, and by living a life of peace. O beloved Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is meek and humble of heart, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I confidently turn to you for help in my present need: (mention your request.) We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
