One of the great women saints of the US is recalled at the altar, Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne, R.S.C.J. She was called by the Pottowatomi, “Woman-Who-Prays-Always” … do we model this perspective, too?
With the Church we pray,
Almighty God, who filled the heart of Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne with charity and missionary zeal, and gave her the desire to make you known among all peoples, grant us to follow her way and fill us with that same love and zeal to extend your kingdom to the ends of the earth.
