History
Saint Giles loved the Lord
so much, he wanted to be alone with Him all the time. He sailed to another country, and then found a quiet cave in the woods where he
could pray all day without being disturbed. The Lord sent him a deer to feed
him with her milk. One day, the King and his hunting party shot at the deer,
but the arrow hit Saint Giles’ leg instead. Disabled people used to go to Saint
Giles for prayer because he was so close to Jesus, his prayers were very
effective.
Activity
There are many disabled
people who suffer every day of their lives. Some of them can’t get the medical
treatment they need because it’s too expensive or because it’s not available
where they live. Today, ask Saint Giles to pray for disabled people who need
help. You can use your own words or this prayer.
