Today, we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Venerable Pauline Marie Jaricot's birth into eternal life (1799-1862). She was a holy and generous soul who suffered much, but was given great gifts of touching hearts, a holy understanding of God's love and most virtuous grace. Pauline dedicated her life to helping others, starting the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and the Association of the Living Rosary. Her healing through the intercession of Saint Philomena in Mugnano, Italy, in 1835 is a beautiful miracle of faith. Read more about Pauline's life, her work and her passion for the missions of the Church -- her quest to "love without measure…without end." Let us pray to her and imitate her faith.
Prayer to Our Friend, Pauline Jaricot
Prayer to Our Friend, Pauline Jaricot
Almighty and merciful God, who has chosen a humble virgin, Pauline of Jesus Christ, the poor one of Mary, to found the great Catholic works of the Propagation of the Faith and the Living Rosary, and who has wished in the midst of humiliations, trials and persecutions to purify her works, deign to hasten the day when Holy Mother the Church will publicly recognize her saintly life. We pray that by her example of patience and love for the Cross, her lifetime prayer may be realized: the Universal propagation of the Faith in all its purity. Amen.
