Prayer to Saint Francis of Paola

This is a short and sweet prayer to the humble hermit Saint Francis of Paola, especially during the Lenten season.  Saint Francis of Paola is known for miraculous works like Jesus: healing the sick, walking on water, and multiplying food.

Saint Francis, the closer you grew to God, the more radical your daily life became. 

However, the radical life you lived eventually became normal to you and your ordinary way to holiness. 

Please pray for me, that I may live a life so completely given over to God, that this total self-giving becomes my ordinary way of life. 

Saint Francis of Paola, pray for me.

Jesus, I trust in You.
