Saint Romuald Monk and Abbot - June 19 Feast Day

On Thursday, June 19th we celebrated the feast day of Saint Romuald, a little-known monk and abbot or leader of monks. St. Romuald can be an inspiration to all of us who may have grown up angry, had trouble controlling our emotions, and are struggling to overcome those bad habits. We may not follow entirely in his footsteps, but St. Romuald can be a guide to us as we attempt to live more peaceful lives.

St. Romuald, pray for those of us who struggle with our temper and worldly desires. We may not be called to live the life of a hermit, but through your intercession may we seek moments of solitude in our lives to listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to us. May we quiet our minds and our hearts to hear how much we are loved. St. Romuald, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in you!!
