Daily Prayer 8/20
Memorial of St. Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church
Morning Offering:
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month. Amen
Holy Father’s Intention for August 2025: For mutual coexistence
Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious, or ideological reasons.

Gospel Reading of the Day: Matthew 20:1-16
Daily Prayer:
Generous Lord, I feel the sting of comparison, wondering if I have been forgotten. You call me, even late in the day, and Your grace overwhelms me. Help me let go of envy and embrace the joy of being chosen. Teach me to celebrate Your goodness, even when it humbles my pride. Like St. Bernard, may I rest in Your truth and be a faithful worker in Your vineyard and presence. Amen
