Novena Prayer Day Two

 Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey

Novena Day Two

 

Today's Thought of

Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey

Our Founder

“We can justly consider that the future of humanity lies in the hands of those who are strong enough to provide coming generations 

with reasons for living and hoping.” 

The Church Today

God gave Anne Marie Javouhey some quite remarkable gifts: intelligence, breadth of vision, initiative and strength of character. He gave her a mission, and to enable her to fulfill it, he gave her faith, hope and charity in no ordinary degree. The story of her life as we know it, and which is reflected in her 1,041 letters, is the story of her use of God’s gifts and her correspondence with his grace. 

She used every ounce of effort her whole life through. At seventy, she was still trying, still making a fresh start.

As Sisters, Affiliates and Associates who follow in the footsteps of Anne Marie Javouhey, how have we used our God-given gifts? Are we fulfilling our mission in faith, hope and love?

of Your Holy Will in all things and to

manifested through the poorest of her

brothers and sisters.

Grant that we, in the Church of our

you confided to her.

Through her intercession hear the

prayers we address to You …
