History
One day on the Feast of the
Assumption, seven men from Florentine, Italy, were inspired by a vision to
start living a life of prayer and constant communion with the Lord. So, they
left their jobs and homes and became hermits called the Servants of Mary or the
Servites. Saint Buonfiglio was their first leader.
Activity
We all have very busy lives, and
sometimes it can be hard for us to make time for God. Not everybody is called
to do what Saint Buonfiglio and his brothers did by leaving their jobs and
homes, but we should all take a little time away from everything for God. So
today, get into a room by yourself – even if it’s only for a couple minutes –
and pray to God. Then listen! Make a commitment to do this every day from now
on.
